Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care
is the Ministry of care, support and benevolence to our church community. When
a challenge presents itself, a simple phone call will put into motion the
spiritual support you need. Home and hospital visits, grief support,
transportation for elderly to church and in-home support are some key services.

Music is a
gift of God to life the spirit of man to a more conscious knowing of the love
that is God. Our music program accomplishes its mission in a moving and power
filled way. We have powerful, inspiring music at every Sunday service.

developing a quarterly Sunday Afternoon Jazz Concert Series.
