MEETING PRACTICAL NEEDS

“Let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” Galatians 6:10

The purpose of Essential’s Care Ministry is to make sure that everyone who belongs to our Church Family is cared for in the event of a physical, financial, emotional, or spiritual crisis.

Essential Care focuses on providing ministry support through relationships that are cultivated in Crews and Dream Teams. We assist individuals who have personal needs, and we want to help celebrate significant milestones of faith and family when they occur!
