Our Congregational Care Ministry's goal is to help our members be involved in relationships that will assist and support them in reaching their calling of glorifying God.  Those congregation members who find they are in need of financial, emotional or relational assistance will be asked to participate in an assessment process that will evaluate their life situation and not solely their financial need. This in turn will allow the church the opportunity to provide spiritual, emotional and financial support and resources to our members. Please be advised, that we do not provide emergency financial help and our Benevolence Assistance Process may take up to two weeks.
