In our purpose statement we believe that we are called to serve people compassionately in Christ’s name. Through our congregational care groups we believe that we are living out not only our purpose statement but our call as Christians to care for one another.
Deacons, the office of deacon as set forth in the Scriptures is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. Deacons are the hands and feet of Christ to those who are in need, those who are sick, those who are in need of friends, and to anyone who is in distress both within and beyond the community of faith. To this end the deacons are involved with visitations, memorial services, coffee and fellowship on Sunday mornings, sending cards and notes to members of our congregation, caring for those who are ill by organizing meals and other services for members of the church.

Stephen Ministry is a program of our congregation that equips lay persons to provide distinctively Christian one-to-one care to those who are experiencing all kinds of life needs and circumstances, both in our congregation and community. Stephen leaders are pastors, church staff and or/lay persons who have completed a seven-day Stephen series Leader’s Training course and are commissioned to lead the Stephen Ministry of our congregation.

There are times when each of us needs the care of another person, a Christian friend who can listen to us as we struggle with life’s many issues. Stephen ministry is a confidential ministry so that those who are receiving care can be sure that their identity and what goes on in the caring relationship will remain private. If you are struggling with something in your life we invite you to seek out a Stephen Minister and begin the process of healing as you walk through this journey of faith with a friend in Christ. |
