Care Groups

Care Groups Ministry is a holistic ministry of care, encouragement, and support for the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical challenges we each face during our life journeys. “We See You” means you are not alone; we acknowledge you, and we are here.

El-Roi from Genesis 16 is the name Hagar called God, meaning, "You are the God who sees me." God does see each one of us, and cares about what we are dealing with in life. He wants us to see each other as well and care for one another.

The support this care ministry offers includes connecting with others, sharing our experiences either in a group or one-on-one settings, individual counseling, life coaching and spiritual direction, education, and awareness on relevant topics.
