Healthy Congregation & Care Team

First UMC's Care Team seeks to minister holistically -- embracing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of church family members and friends.

As we seek to fulfill our purpose to Grow in Caring & Love, we have a vibrant caring ministry that includes many opportunities to support and to assist each other and those in our community.

This team includes those that meet weekly on Wednesday at 5:00 PM to pray for our community and congregation. Team members also participate in the Prayer Chain. An email Prayer Chain is available for those who want to participate in the prayer ministry of the church.

This team visits church members and others who are hospitalized to provide support and encouragement.
