Pastoral care is focused on the community as we journey together, providing hope and solace during illness, infirmity, grief, loneliness, life’s transitions, and dealing with trauma. It also encompasses sharing joy-filled experiences. With prayer-filled hearts and voices, pastoral care encourages the community to live the way of Christ.  Contact the church office at 405-235-3436 for more information.
