You know what nobody tells you about struggling?
It's not just one thing. It's everything at once.
You lose your job. Money gets tight. You start pulling away from people because you're embarrassed or exhausted. And when you're carrying it all alone like that, your mental health falls apart. You wake up and you can't see a way out.
Financial instability. Loneliness. Mental health struggles.
They're not three separate problems. They feed each other. And trying to fix just one? It doesn't work.
That's why we created the Hope Triangle.
What it is:
A 10-12 week small group that meets weekly to address financial stability, mental health, and relational health. Together. Because that's how they show up in your life.
This is a ministry of 1513 Church. That means we're Christians, and faith is central to how we approach healing. We pray together. We read Scripture. We talk about how Jesus intersects with money, mental health, and relationships.
If you're not a Christian, you're still welcome to participate. But you should know upfront - this isn't secular counseling or financial advising. This is a Christian support group. Jesus is central, not optional.
What you'll get:
Financial stability
- Real budgeting help that actually works
- Tools to deal with debt
- Planning for emergencies
- Biblical wisdom about money
- Accountability without judgment
Mental health support
- Understanding anxiety, depression, and trauma through both a clinical and spiritual lens
- Practical coping skills
- When and how to get professional help
- The connection between mental health and faith
- A community that won't judge you for struggling
Relational health
- Why isolation kills and community heals
- How to build healthy friendships
- Dealing with conflict
- Repairing broken relationships
- Being a good neighbor
And something deeper: hope through Jesus
We believe Jesus doesn't just help you manage being broken. He transforms you. Makes you new. That's what resurrection means.
So yes, we're going to teach you how to budget and cope with anxiety and build friendships. But we're also going to point you to the One who can actually heal what's broken at the root.
That's the hope we're offering. Not just better coping skills. Transformation.
How it works:
10-12 weeks, meeting once a week for 90 minutes
Each session includes:
- Opening prayer (5 min)
- Check-in (10 min) - How's everyone doing this week?
- Teaching (20 min) - One of the three topic areas (financial, mental health, relational) - rotates each week
- Discussion and application (30 min) - How does this apply to your life?
- Scripture reading and reflection (10 min) - What does God's word say about this?
- Prayer requests and prayer (15 min) - Specific, personal, honest
Groups are 6-10 people led by trained facilitators who are members of 1513 Church.
Cost: Free. No hidden fees. No expectation that you'll give money to the church.
Who is this for?
This is for you if:
- You're struggling financially and it's affecting everything else
- You're isolated and don't know how to reconnect with people
- Your mental health is suffering and you need support
- You're tired of doing this alone
- You're open to a Christian approach to healing (you don't have to be a Christian, just open)
This is NOT for you if:
- You need clinical therapy or psychiatric care (we'll help you find that, but this group isn't a substitute)
- You're in crisis (suicidal, experiencing domestic violence, severe addiction) - please get professional help first, then join Hope Triangle as supplemental support
- You're not willing to commit to 10-12 weeks of weekly attendance
- You're hostile to Christianity or prayer
We're honest about what this is: A Christian support group run by a church. If that's not for you, that's okay. We can refer you to secular resources.
What's required:
- Application and intake conversation - We need to make sure this is a good fit for where you are
- Commitment to weekly attendance - Missing one week is fine. Missing half the sessions defeats the purpose.
- Honesty about where you are - We can't help you if you're pretending to be fine
- Willingness to participate - You don't have to share every week, but you can't just sit silently for 12 weeks
- Openness to prayer and Scripture - We're going to pray and read the Bible. If that's a dealbreaker, this isn't for you.
When does it start?
Next cohort begins: July 2026
Groups meet on various nights (we'll place you based on your schedule and the intake conversation).
Applications open in June. Space is limited to 20-30 participants total across all groups.
How do I apply?
Fill out the application below. Someone from our team will reach out within 48 hours to schedule a brief intake conversation (20-30 minutes by phone or in person).
We'll talk through:

- Whether this is the right fit for you right now
- Which group makes sense based on your schedule and needs
Then we'll let you know if you're accepted and which group you're placed in.
Not everyone who applies will be accepted. We have limited space, and we want to make sure everyone in the group is at a similar place and ready for this kind of support.

This is 1513 Church
We're not a social service agency. We're a church.
We believe Jesus transforms lives. Not just helps you cope. Transforms.
If you're struggling with money, isolation, or mental health - or all three - we want to walk with you. Not as professionals with all the answers, but as fellow broken people who've found hope in Jesus.
Hope Triangle starts July 2026.
You don't have to do this alone.
