WE CARE
ABOUT YOU

We believe in loving our neighbor, whatever it takes.

The benevolence fund provides financial aid to those with urgent needs and helps people get back on their feet in the long term. We can assist with utility bills, rent, and various other needs. If you need assistance, please email our Benevolence Team to find out more information, or to request an application.

We all need help from time to time.

We offer biblically-based, short-term, pastoral counseling to give hope and help to people who are struggling. 

We would love to pray for you!

Mending the Soul provides a safe environment for believers who have experienced abuse, trauma, or neglect. This group looks at the nature of abuse, learns how it has impacted us and works to heal and reconnect with God and others. Groups begin periodically. You can also find more information on our Mending the Soul webpage.

Pastors will always be on the front lines of care but can’t always meet every need by themselves. Stephen Ministry equips God’s people for ministry. Gifted laypeople receive training to support and extend the care that pastors continue to provide.

Stephen Ministers care for people going through loss, hospitalization, divorce, spiritual crisis, illness, and many other challenges.

There are times when people can’t attend church regularly, and we get to step in. The church provides support in times of difficulty, encouragement, and individual connection with those who are homebound or otherwise limited.

If you or someone you know would benefit from a visit, please let us know!

Caring for others in all kinds of ways is a core value of the disciples of Jesus. Jesus reached out to meet physical needs, so we do too. The Hands in Service ministry serves people who have practical needs such as fixing a broken step, patching a hole in a wall, replacing a faucet, mowing the lawn, or helping people move.

If you need assistance, please call our office and leave a message.
