We support, pray for, and nurture one another

You are loved. Our care team includes pastorscare staff, and many lay leaders who are all united in the goal of providing prayer, support, and resources to those in need of care. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone. That’s what it means to be in a caring community.

As humans, we’re recognizing more and more the importance of caring for mental health – and nearly two years of a global pandemic has made that even more evident. We are all, in a lot of ways, worn out. How do we understand experiences of mental illness within the context of Christian faith, and how do we practice patience, compassion, and boundaries for those going through it? Read more about Pastor Emmy Kegler and listen to her February 19, 2022 presentation here.
