Serving through Healthcare

We’re building a place for God in our community, in the hearts and homes of people. Whether it is through supporting those with addiction or through sharing a cup of coffee with a neighbor who needs an encouraging word, we seek to be a servant church. Would you serve, too?

For those in our church family who have a special concern for the physical well-being of people in our community, there are opportunities for service through several established organizations.
