Caring Ministries

Our vision is to make disciples for Jesus Christ through ministries of care to those experiencing illness, alienation, isolation, hospitalization, recovery and those needing individual, premarital and family counseling.

Our pastoral staff and trained lay caregivers serve our congregation as a care-providing team. Here are some of the ways we reach out to one another with the love of Jesus:
