What is the Second Mile Fund?

The Second Mile Fund was established as a way for our pastor to privately assist individuals when special needs arise. Thanks to the support provided, we have been able to offer financial aid to individuals in crisis situations. Check out information on fund raisers below or use the link to donate directly to the Second Mile Fund.

Congregational Care

DEACON MINISTRY Deacons are responsible for providing pastoral care and support to the members of the church. This may involve visiting the sick, elderly, or homebound members, offering prayers, providing comfort, and meeting practical needs within the congregation. All members and non-members of the congregation, should have a deacon assigned. If you don't have a deacon or have not been contacted by a deacon, please contact the church office.
