We have hundreds of pastors in our state that do an incredible job faithfully preaching God's word and ministering to the lost and broken.

As we enter October which is pastor appreciation month, would you take some time to remind your pastor that they are loved and cared for?

Seniors in churches can often get forgotten.

That's why this compassion team was formed: so that would never happen again.

If you're interested in getting something similar started in your church you can email Karren Griess at [email protected]
