Life can be difficult, but you don't have to go through it alone. Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers who provide one-on-one, confidential, Christ-centered

support during life's challenges. Whether you're

experiencing grief, illness, or another hardship, a

Stephen Minister can walk alongside you with care

and prayer. If you or someone you know could use a

listening ear and spiritual encouragement, contact

Pastor Russ Leeper, Pastor Intern Beth Hurt, or Linda

Johnson.

After Worship Social Time

Coffee & a treat are served in the Narthex or outside each Sunday! If you would like to volunteer to bring the treats, you can sign up on the sheet at the Welcome Center.

Join us to find help and encouragement after the death of a loved one. At GriefShare, you’ll find understanding, guidance, relief, and a safe place to navigate the challenges of grief. Each meeting consists of an educational video about a grief topic, as well as time to share with others in a confidential setting.
