It's ok to ask for help

Our mercy ministry exists to help those in our church and church network who need help with basic physical needs and expenses, such as food, housing, utilities, work, and medical care. We share Jesus' deep concern for those who are experiencing difficult circumstances. This is the heart of our deacon team, which oversees and manages our mercy ministry.
