"Many are called but few are chosen."

If you are reading these words, we believe God led you here to our wonderful support, education, and prayer group for Christians who have bipolar loved ones, but are NOT THEMSELVES BIPOLAR.

To learn more about the group, click the link to our website at the bottom of this page.

Few of the many people who apply for membership in our group are accepted, because most apply for membership without reading the instructions on this page. Only those who demonstrate the willingness to read these instructions are considered to have a serious enough interest in support to be approved for membership.

PLEASE DO NOT CLICK "JOIN" BEFORE READING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW; OTHERWISE YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE REJECTED AND YOU MUST REAPPLY.
