Purpose of the Financial Assistance Ministry
The Financial Assistance Ministry’s primary purpose is to serve the members of our church family during unforeseen financial difficulties. Whether facing medical emergencies, job loss, or other unexpected expenses, we strive to offer immediate help, comforting our members with both practical support and spiritual encouragement. As Christians, we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and this ministry serves as a vital expression of that calling.
Why Financial Assistance Matters
Financial hardship can be overwhelming, and it is often a source of emotional and spiritual stress. As a congregation, we believe that providing for each other in these times reflects Christ’s love and compassion. Through this ministry, we aim to demonstrate the love of Christ by meeting the tangible needs of those struggling within our church family. Furthermore, we direct individuals to local resources that can offer long-term financial support, helping them gain the knowledge and tools necessary for financial stability and independence.
