Lay Ministers are volunteers from our congregation who are trained in compassionate listening and caring.  They are available to support those who would welcome a visit or who are experiencing difficult circumstances or times of transition.  The goal is to provide a ministry of hope and caring so that no member of the congregation need suffer or struggle alone through life’s hard times.

Lay Ministers may visit members who are ill at home or in the hospital; support those who are going through a major life transition or personal crisis; maintain contact with those unable to attend church due to illness or disability; support family and friends involved in care giving; comfort the bereaved; provide support that is ongoing; assist with spiritual support; and help a person find additional resources they need.
