CARE MINISTRY
Our CARE Ministry helps meet a variety of needs within our community through our food pantry and thrift store.
If you or someone you know needs assistance, we ask that you first bring your need to your Sunday Morning Group or Recovery Group. We pursue and live out gospel-centered community through groups and hope that you reach out to your closest community in times of hardship.
If you still need assistance, call us for further guidance and information about how the CARE Ministry can help.
