In the Bible there is a clear call to help those in need. If you would like to learn more please read a sermon outlining God’s heart for mercy ministry.
Three words summarize our goals for our mercy ministries: compassion, Christ (at the center), and companionship. We want to meet real needs in the name of Jesus from genuine love for the folks we serve.

Nursing Home Ministry
We are excited about this new ministry! We are taking a worship service to the residents of a local nursing home on the third Sunday of each month. We want this to be a time of great encouragement for our new friends as we share the preaching of God's word, sing, pray, and get to know one another.
Space is limited so members who would like to attend should see Joe Lippert. Others are encouraged to visit throughout the month. Please pray that we would be God's instruments of real love and real truth in the lives of the folks in our newly adopted nursing home.
If you have any questions, please contact us. |
