household of faith." Galatians 6v10

GRACE CARE NETWORK (GCN)

The care ministry exists to provide love and support to people within our congregation who are struggling with life’s most difficult challenges. At one time or another we all need the help of others to see our way through a difficult time. Whether your struggle is physical, emotional, relational, or financial we are here for you and want to help in whatever way we can.

  • Short-Term Assistance for Difficult Times

    We offer financial assistance to people in need who meet the eligibility of our Financial Assistance Program.

  • The GCN will offer prayer and support during your time of sorrow.

 FAQs

  • Care Team Ministry members of our church body are trained and equipped to walk alongside individuals going through big life challenges like grief, divorce, a medical crisis, job loss, and more. Our Care Team Ministers will offer care, support, and encouragement, connecting hurting people with Christ’s healing love during some of the hardest times in their lives. When the occasion allows Care Team Members will offer practical, hands-on support such as meals, cards, and the ministry of presence.

We can’t do life alone. We weren’t made to be a one person show, instead, we were designed to be in community with one another. People matter and everyone needs people that are with them and for them.
