CARE MINISTRIES
WHY DO WE CARE?
We care because Jesus cares. Throughout the Bible God is described as one close to the suffering and broken-hearted. Jesus's heart is constantly for the hurting. Encouraging each other through hard and messy times is a part of what church is about.
CARE TEAM
At FOF, we have a group of people who bring help and encouragement to others in tangible ways. Whether it's those pick-me-up calls and texts, personal visits, meals for new moms, or hand-written cards when a loved one dies, the Care Team brings encouragement to people during times of need. As the New Testament says, “Encourage one another and build each other up."
If you're interested in serving on the Care Team, contact Jessica Brown.
CELEBRATE RECOVERY
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program seeking Jesus's help in healing from our broken, sinful lives. Learn principles based on Biblical insights for discovering freedom from guilt, grief, shame, anger, resentment, fears, co-dependency, addictive beviors, and more.
Mondays: Worship & Teaching at 7pm. Group Share at 8pm.
For more information, check out our Celebrate Recovery page.
