MINISTRIES
"Let us commend ourselves and one another,
and our whole life, to Christ our God."
​
While the central act of Christian community is Holy Communion, our community with God and neighbor extends from beyond the temple into our daily lives. A natural, but intentional, element of this is the "work of ministry, for the building up of the Body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12).
​
Our ministries thrive on the support and stewardship of the faithful. Offerings of time, talent, and treasure help us provide care to the whole person, in different facets of life.
