Congregational Care Ministries

The ministry of Congregational Care is carefully designed to connect the church with people during their difficult times. Visitation by a Congregational Care Minister can be to a hospital, but is usually to assisted living facilities.

Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs) are lay ministers who work alongside their pastor to provide care for their church family. Consider joining our CCM team to share your gifts and graces in compassion, encouragement, and organization. Training is provided for all our CCMs. Or contact us if you would like a visit from a CCM.
