Over thirty-three years ago, Father James J. Young founded this non-profit §501(c)(3) ministry to bring healing, reconciliation, and new life to the separated and divorced. Several times in the decades hence we have faced some difficult financial years. Unfortunately, we find ourselves again in lean-budget times. The cancellation of last summer’s conference has left us with the challenge of finding additional income to continue to meet our obligation to our members, and to maintain our publications and programs. Won't you please prayerfully consider helping us with the most generous financial gift you can offer? Your contribution will help others to experience the miracle of healing, reconciliation and new life. You may donate online with a credit card, or mail your check, payable to NACSDC, to PO Box 10, Hancock, MI 49930. We thank you, and pray that you and your loved ones enjoy God's Wondrous Blessings!
Since 1974, NACSDC has been committed to the healing and recovery of those who have experienced separation and divorce. We also realize that people experiencing other sources of pain—whether widowed, never married, or single parents for any reason—may benefit from the programs we offer and the services we provide. Learn more about who we are, what we believe, and what we do.
