Martha Ministry
Martha Ministry volunteers serve through Christ’s example. This group strives to assist members of our congregation who are “in need” by providing meals, transportation, and certain caretaking duties. Through these actions, Martha Ministry celebrates Christ in fellowship and mission. Martha Ministry spreads Christ's love through acts of kindness and selflessness on the part of volunteers.
