Care And Support Ministries

Everyone experiences trials, problems, and suffering during their lifetime, and sometimes these burdens become too heavy to carry alone. Scripture encourages us to "share each other's troubles and problems, and so obey our Lord's command"(Gal. 6:2, Living Bible). Grace Chapel's Caring Ministry endeavors to help by listening, praying, encouraging, and supporting you during your season of difficulty.
