Care

Jesus said, “By this they will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

(John 13:35)

Our pastoral ministries include the many ways that we welcome, support, uplift, care, and pray for one another. Lay ministers and clergy join in welcoming newcomers, celebrating milestones, and caring for those in any need or trouble.

pastoral care requests

A central place to share any prayer, request, or need for pastoral care—whether you’re facing something difficult, celebrating something joyful, or simply looking for support or connection.

No request is too big or too small. Your submission will be received with care, shared appropriately, and followed up on with attention to your needs and timing.
