Spiritual Care

  • Grief Share offers a supportive space for those mourning a loss, providing a pastor-led forum for conversations, prayers, and shared experiences, complemented by insightful videos which guide participants through aspects of the grieving journey.

  • Our Shut-In Visits program brings pastoral care to your doorstep, where a dedicated pastor or trained lay person offers a compassionate ear, heartfelt prayers, and the sacrament of Holy Communion for those in homes, hospitals, residential facilities, etc.

  • Experience compassionate guidance through Pastoral Counseling—whether by phone or in person—where our pastors provide advice, prayer, and unwavering support, creating a space for meaningful conversations and encouragement. Please note this is not certified in the clinical sense; however, a referral can be given upon request.

  • Connect with our Prayer Team, a dedicated group of pastors and congregation members eager to pray with or for you. Experience the power of collective prayer by openly or discreetly adding your requests to our prayer chain, fostering a supportive community of spiritual strength.

We offer engaging lessons for little ones, enlightening Bible studies for junior and senior high students, and a diverse range of classes for adults, fostering spiritual growth and community connection.

  • Note: the group is on break during the summer and will resume in September.

    Explore the depth of Scripture with our Tuesday morning expository Bible study, led by Pastor Jamie. Open to all, join us at 9:15 am for a reflective and inclusive journey through the pages of the Bible.

  • Discover deeper connections through Small Group Bible Studies, where various groups meet throughout the week—in homes, local restaurants, and on campus. Join an existing group for fellowship and study, or start your own, fostering meaningful discussions and spiritual growth in a welcoming community.
