Mission
Action: Health & Care-Giving
Our
Health and Care-Giving Team is comprised of church members
who are concerned for the physical well-being of others. These
members serve on committees within the church to
assure that we are reaching our internal health needs, while
others dedicate their time and energies to organizations outside
of the church as they seek to meet community health needs.
