We are a deeply caring community
The purpose of the Caring Ministry Team is to strengthen our caring community as we live out our Church Affirmation: “May love be the spirit of this church and service be its prayer.” Our ministers offer pastoral counseling as well as home and hospital visits. Lay Minister church members who have been trained in listening skills are available after each Sunday service as well as one-on-one, as assigned by a minister.
