There are many needs within our local, national, and global communities. Our social ministry committee is striving to meet some of those needs by extending Christian compassion and support through our many social ministry programs.

The Social Ministry Committee always welcomes new members. If the following quote by Menno Simons is meaningful to you, we invite you to join us.The following quote defines the purpose of Social Ministry.
