Serving others, in our church
Our needs as a congregation are diverse. From young families meeting the daily challenges
of new parenthood to our infirm and homebound members who are no longer able to attend
regular church services, we as a congregation are committed to serving and meeting the
needs of our church family. We support each other by volunteering our time and
talents.... from volunteering in the nursery, to bringing communion and visiting with our
homebound, to lifting up the needs of our church members through prayer.
We are a church family that cares, and cares for each other.
