Care and Support
God calls us to live in community and support one another. The Care and Support Ministry strives to be present for people, both within and outside of our church walls. Whether people are seeking spiritual guidance from one of our pastors or support from a small group, our hope is that we may provide a listening and supportive presence to our community.
