Our Mission:
To provide support to those in our parish and community who are not able to
join in regular ministry. We furnish support through our homebound ministry,
assistance to those grieving, ill or injured through providing meals,
counseling and visitation by the minister, financial support to community
members, and supporting conference missions. |

Grief
When one of our
parish or one of their family members dies, we provide meals in their home
and if they wish a buffet dinner during visitation prior to the funeral.
The pastor is available for assistance in planning a funeral and for grief
counseling.

Change for Children
Every Sunday, you
will see a little decorated can sitting on the right side of the altar. All
children and adults are asked to contribute by putting in their change. The
funds are taken to Annual Conference every year. All the Holston Conference
churches participate, and the collection is used to help children in our
conference.
