care teams

Our Care Teams are made up of trained volunteers who care for those with various needs related to hurts, crises, transitions, addictions, marriage, and relationship difficulties. Regardless of the situation, their help is person-centered, empathetic, psychologically informed, and biblically sound. While our caregivers are not therapists, they are thoroughly equipped to offer distinctively Christian support and encouragement. And all of their care is completely free and confidential.

Stephen Ministry:  Stephen Ministers are trained to walk alongside others during difficult times while offering prayer, encouragement, wisdom, and a listening ear.
