Caregiving

Our purpose is to reach out in loving support of our church family and community in times of crisis and need by Offering Christ, Growing in Faith and Serving Others.
 
"This is my commandment,
 that you love one another
as I have loved you."
 John 15:12
  
We strive to be faithful to our Lord's command as we care for one another. Our pastoral and congregational care ministries offer assistance spiritually, emotionally and physically. 
 
If you or someone you know needs assistance, please contact the Margie Marks, Caregiving Coordinator at 727-786-0005 or 727-409-5304 or email. All requests are kept confidential.
