How can we help you?

At one time or another we all need the help of others to see our way through a difficult time. Whether your struggle is spiritual, physical, emotional, relational, or financial we are here for you and want to help in whatever way we can. We believe that God cares for us and is very present through every facet of life. He celebrates with us in our joys and comforts us in our pain and sorrow. As a church community, we reflect this truth as we care and support each other through a variety of life-giving events, relationships and environments.

Prayer

Prayer is more than just a spiritual practice; it's the heartbeat of our community. We believe in the transformative power of prayer to connect us with God, to bring comfort in times of need, and to usher in His presence in every aspect of our lives.

Prayer is more than a specific time or place. From our Sunday services to our weekly gatherings and special prayer events, we prioritize seeking God's face together.

Hospital & Home Visits

Times of hospitalization, medical procedures, and terminal illnesses can be lonely and anxious experiences. We have a team of caring members available to come alongside you via phone, card or visit for prayer and encouragement. If you or someone you know is in one of these circumstances and would benefit from a visit, please submit a Request Visit form.

Counseling

Even through difficult seasons of life, our mission is to help people take their next steps toward Christ…together. While our pastors are available for your spiritual questions and emotional support, we recognize that professional Christian counseling is a valuable help for addressing chronic mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, addiction, abuse, chronic relational difficulties, and trauma.
For information on professional counseling and other support ministies in our area, please refer to our Counseling Resource Directory.

Join the Care Team

Galatians 6:2 tells us to “Carry each other’s burdens,” With the size of our congregation, this load is too large for one person. Therefore, we need volunteers willing to make phone calls, visits, send cards, or lend a helping hand or ear to others who attend our church. If you feel called to serve in this manner, please let us know by visiting our volunteer page.
