CONGREGATIONAL CARE

Congregational Care Ministries provides care, concern, prayer, and support for families and individuals at various stages, places, and circumstances of life. We desire to extend the love, hope, comfort, and compassion of Jesus Christ to those who are navigating a time of change, challenge, life crisis, or celebration.

Our Congregational Care Team is to ready to respond to the care and support needs of the congregation and to engage in the ongoing spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational expression of living faithfully within the Body of Christ.

We believe in the power of prayer and caring for our neighbor.

Whether you are experiencing a challenge or a celebration, we want to lift all things to the Lord and walk alongside you.
