Pastoral Care

Pastoral/Congregational care is the heart of a church’s ministry. The Book of Isaiah reminds us of how we are called to be present with people.

“I have set you among my people to bind them to me, and provided you as a lighthouse to the nations, To make a start at bringing people into the open, into light: opening blind eyes, releasing prisoners from dungeons, emptying the dark prisons.”

— Isaiah 42:6-7, The Message

If you are homebound, our Pastor and Deacons offer the Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion) to individuals and families in our church family and community. If you – or if you know someone – who would like to receive communion, please call the church office.
