“Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and servant of all.” (Mark9:35). Congregational Care is responsible for supporting our members through the joy and sorrows of life. The members of our Church family are the people that God has entrusted to Congregational Care, and it is our goal to show the love of Christ as we serve our brothers and sisters in faith.
