Membership Review: Congregations need to periodically review membership records to ensure they are accurate. We have not done any membership roll review since 2019 due to the pandemic. In the coming weeks, every member will receive an email to confirm their membership status and update vital contact information. The email will contain a record of your information as it is currently listed in our congregation database. There will be a link to a form that we ask every member of the family to fill out. If you have any questions, please reach out to the office.
Sunshine Team: In an effort to reach out and support our church family, we are combining several ministries: Caring Calls & Cards, Caring Casseroles, and the Member Engagement Team (works with the pastor to integrate new members, reengage inactive members, and increase overall participation). We will reach out to homebound members, members who are sick or grieving, new members, etc. We will also offer meals for members experiencing significant health challenges. If you are interested contact Anna Wesley by email or at (856) 577-7858.
