Our Ministries

Meal Ministry
One of the simplest ways we care for one another is through food.
Our Meal Ministry provides homemade or prepared frozen meals for members of our church and community who may need a little extra support—whether they are recovering from illness, welcoming a new baby, grieving a loss, or going through a difficult season.
How You Can Help
We are currently collecting donated frozen meals to keep on hand when someone in our community needs them. Meals can be homemade or store-bought and should be packaged, labeled, and ready to freeze.
Simple meals that freeze well are especially helpful.
When Meals Are Shared
When someone in our church family needs a little extra care, volunteers coordinate meals so that recipients feel supported and loved during their time of need.
Want to Participate?
There are several ways to be part of this ministry:
-
Donate frozen meals
-
Help organize or distribute meals
-
Let us know when someone could use a meal
This ministry is a quiet but powerful way we live out our faith—sharing care, compassion, and nourishment with one another.
Handicap Supplies Lending Mission
Our church family has been blessed with donations of mobility equipment—including walkers, wheelchairs, and canes, etc. We would love to put these items to good use by making them available to borrow for anyone in our congregation or the wider community who might need a little extra help.
To get this started, we are looking for a volunteer with a heart for service to help us get organized. We need someone to create an inventory of our current supplies and keep a simple log of the equipment being lent out.
This is such a wonderful way for us to support one another! If you are interested in helping or organizing this new mission, please reach out, we would love to have you involved.
Prayer Chain
Life brings joys, worries, celebrations, and challenges — and you do not have to carry them alone. Our Prayer Chain is a caring group of people committed to praying for anyone in need. Whether you are facing illness, grief, uncertainty, thanksgiving, or simply need support, we are honored to pray with and for you.
Prayer requests may be shared for yourself, a loved one, or a situation close to your heart. All requests are treated with care and respect.
​
“Pray without ceasing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17
How It Works
When a prayer request is received, it is shared with members of our Prayer Chain so they can begin praying right away. Requests can be ongoing or temporary. You may choose how much information to share.
