This study explores the phenomena of church hurt and asks what the church can do to help people recover from their church-inflicted wounds. In-depth interviews were conducted with people who had experienced church hurt with a goal of learning from their experiences. These interviews formed the basis of four learning and brain-storming sessions held at a local church, as well as a series of sermons. These sessions enabled the church to formulate its own strategies for reaching out to the church-wounded in its neighborhood.
