mercy & care

Find The Care You Need, Give The Care You Can

“So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, 
and especially to 
those who are of the household of faith.”
–The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians
CPC’s ministry of mercy and care is facilitated by our
Deacons, which is an office of service in the church, based
on the example of the seven men appointed in Acts 6 to care
for widows. The title “deacon” comes from a Greek word that
means a "servant". Our deacons keep an eye out for anyone
in the congregation who needs assistance, in any way, in
order that they may care for them. Many times that will include asking others in the congregation to lend a hand with tasks around
the house, provide rides to medical appointments, or to help
out with whatever the need might be. In this way, we all strive
to live out Jesus’ call to love one another.

Our deacons also assist those outside our congregation.
We want to show Christ’s love by helping with the needs of
life, in the hope that everyone will discover true and
meaningful life that comes only through Jesus.

In addition to the Deacons, we have a Hospitality Team. As part
of their ministry, the team arranges meals for those who are ill, recovering from surgery, and in other circumstances as needed.
