SUNDAYS
STEPHEN MINISTRY
Stephen Ministry is a lay caregiving ministry that supplements pastoral care. Volunteers participate in a 50-hour training then go on to provide one-on-one care for individuals who request support during a challenge time in their lives. The confidential care-giver and care-receiver relationship, usually conducted by weekly visits, may continue for months or years.
MEAL + TRANSPORTATION MINISTRY
When someone within the congregation faces a life challenge, volunteers offer to provide occasional meals and/or transportation to appointments, etc.
WORKING WITH CHILDREN

We offer nursery for younger children on Sunday mornings for parents to attend worship. If you love children and believe in passing the faith to the next generation, here's your opportunity to serve!
