Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs):
CCMs are trained and certified laypersons who feel called to help those in need in our church and community. CCMs serve in the areas of Prayer, Visitation, Craft, Support, and Hospitality. The CCMs and the CCM lay and clergy leaders meet twice a month for continuing education and ministry development, as well as for spiritual growth and community.
If you are interested in becoming a CCM, please contact Pastor Lisa to learn more about Congregational Care Ministries and the path to becoming a CCM.
Note: You do not need to be a CCM to volunteer in most care ministries.
