The purpose of this group is to develop any and all ideas that God gives us in order to care for the homebound,sick, afflicted and hurting around us to the best of our God-Given abilities as we grow in Christ.
The Vision of the Caring Ministry Team is to reach out as loving, trained Christians and offer healing and help, strength and courage in all the painful and tragic situations of life.
This includes illness, death, debilitations, limitations, divorce, job loss, HIV/AIDS, aging, military deployments and any other trauma. We offer ourselves to be the hands and feet of Christ in these difficult situations.
