Care Ministry

The Care Ministry Committee spearheads the congregation's response to the ill, aged, underprivileged, and in general, all persons in need. In doing so, the committee strives to include as many members of the congregation as possible in this response. The committee is also responsible for making known to the church council any local social conditions in which the church may bring cleansing, comfort, and healing to people or situations where Christian love and justice are needed.
