Grief can feel isolating—especially for teens.
This is a safe, supportive space where young people can share, connect, and learn healthy ways to carry their grief forward. No pressure. Just understanding, care, and support.

It was an honor to have Rev. Dr. TT Reynolds and his wife, Dorothy, at Pastoral Institute. Rev. Reynolds from St. James Missionary Baptist Church brought an inspirational message on giving and receiving thanks. Our team members feasted on his words of wisdom, and we're thankful to have him support the work we do. It's a beautiful partnership and a beautiful message. Thank you Rev. Reynolds! Also pictured is Ernie Kelly our Congregational Outreach Coordinator.
