People experiencing similar life situations often gain valuable insight into their own life by talking with others who have "been there, done that." Support groups provide a way for people with similar life experiences to interact together. Members learn there are others who understand what they feel and are able to offer encouragement.

Examples of support groups LFS facilitates include:

	Divorce Care. For those experiencing divorce or separation, this is one way to deal with the pain of the past and a way to look forward to rebuilding the future.
	Living Water. For wives of pastors, as an opportunity to encourage each other in their roles of ministry support persons.
	HIV/AIDS Support Group. For individuals who are suffering from HIV or AIDS and their family members in Iowa, to find support and strength by sharing challenges, accomplishments, tears and laughter.
	Clergy Consultation Group. For parish pastors to have a place to share, consult and discuss the many issues that they daily face.
