Support

Change equals loss. Loss equals grief.

As our lives change, even when they change for the better, there is always some kind of loss involved, and loss results in grief. Our Pastoral Care Ministry assists those with life transitions (parenting, retirement, empty-nest) as well as those experiencing life crises (death, terminal illness, hospitalization, loss of relationship).

Missions

Our Pastoral Care Ministry also facilitates our church members to provide ministry in our community and around the world.
