Care
A ministry of encouragement and comfort for our congregation
About Care Ministries at The United Church
Love one another as I have loved you. — John 15:12
Our congregation cares deeply for one another, supporting each other in a variety of ways. As we love one another through the ministries of care, we provide encouragement for our church family in both spiritual and emotional ways, to help their relationship grow with our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Whether in times of difficulties or in times of rejoicing, our congregation serves each other through pastoral care, visitations, prayer groups, card ministry, and prayer shawls.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Who We are at The United Church
The United Church is a strong community of Christians who seek to glorify God. Our mission is, "That All Might Know, Love, and Follow The Lord Jesus Christ as Their Personal Lord and Savior." We seek to do this in a number of ways:
Worship
We worship the Triune God in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24). Worship involves submitting ourselves to God as the Spirit empowers us.
Grow
We must grow in our faith, training ourselves to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:11-6:2, 1 Peter 2:2, 1 Corinthians 3:1-3)
Reach
Jesus sends his followers out on mission for God. We must carefully discern how God might call us to invite others into His Kingdom. (Luke 10:1-20, John 20:21)
Care
As a Christian family, we must bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2). Walking alongside each other to meet spiritual and physical needs is at the center of who we are.
