Jesus cares about all of you. So do we.
Jesus, our Good Shepherd, laid down His life to rescue a broken world — and to show us how to care for one another with truth, love, and sacrifice (John 10:11).
Empowered by the Spirit and dependent on the Father, He met real and pressing needs with compassion. As His followers, we aim to do the same — loving as we’ve been loved and serving as we’ve been served (John 13:12–17).
If you’re in need of prayer, deacon care, counseling, benevolence, or other support, we invite you to reach out.
Our Systems of Care

Prayer
Psalm 17:6; 145:18-19, Romans 8:26, Philippians 4:6
Our heavenly Father longs to hear the hearts and cries of His children. He not only hears, but powerfully responds to our prayers. Our church staff and Prayer Ministry would love to pray for and with you. Submit your prayer request or even a testimony of answered prayer.

Deacon Care
Matthew 25:36, John 13:34, 1 Peter 4:7-11, Acts 6:1-6
Deacon Care exists to engage the felt and real needs of members and regular attenders through long-term, Gospel-oriented relationships that address material and relational brokenness. This includes, but is not limited to, crisis care, grief support, financial counseling, and even home repair expertise and labor.

Care Groups
Galatians 6:2, 1 Corinthians 10:13
Care Groups provide a safe place for you to share, heal, grow, and give with trained facilitators and others who are going through the same life struggle. Groups meet on a semester basis and are created based on identified and expressed needs.

Counseling
Hebrews 10:24, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, James 1:19, Acts 20:28
Pastoral Counseling
Whether the need is prayer, biblically-rooted counsel, or a loving, listening presence in the midst of a difficult season, our pastors and ministry leaders are available to serve you in your time of need.

Benevolence
Luke 12:34, Acts 4:2, James 1:17, 1 Peter 5:7
An outgrowth of the provision of God and the generous giving of our church family, the benevolence process is a way of meeting or assisting individuals or families with their basic financial needs in a time of crisis or transition.
It is an intentionally relational and dignified process that includes an evaluation of the request and surrounding contextual circumstances, a determination of what is needed, as well as financial, emotional and spiritual support.
Refresh members and attenders are given priority in the disbursement of benevolence provisions.
