  • We are here to journey with you in your time of struggle and help you attend to the well-being of your soul:


    • Prayer ministry - "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7). We have a dedicated group of prayer warriors who receive your prayer requests and offer them to God.
    • Service of Prayer and Healing - first Sunday of each month at 5:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
