Social/Community Wellness

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” – Mark 12:31

At the heart of our mission is a sacred calling to care for one another—body, mind, and spirit. Our Social and Community Wellness ministry is rooted in the belief that every person is created in God’s image and is worthy of being seen, supported, and loved.

Our Purpose

We are called to be the hands and feet of Christ in our neighborhoods. Through intentional outreach, compassionate care, and inclusive fellowship, we strive to build a community where all can flourish in faith and wholeness.

Our Areas of Ministry

  • Fellowship & Belonging
    We cultivate welcoming conference spaces and extend hospitality where all feel valued. Through small groups, shared meals, and community gatherings, we nurture relationships that reflect Christ’s love and grace.
  • Mental & Emotional Wholeness
    We walk alongside those navigating life’s challenges, offering prayer, pastoral care, and access to trusted counseling partners. No one should journey alone.
  • Justice & Inclusion
    We are committed to breaking down barriers and lifting every voice. Our programs reflect the diversity of God’s kingdom and affirm the dignity of all people.
  • Family & Youth Support
    We invest in the next generation through Vacation Bible School (VBS), Camp Wesley, and year-round opportunities for children and families to grow in faith, friendship, and purpose.
  • Retired & Disabled Clergy Connection
    We honor those who have served by staying connected with our retired and disabled clergy. Through regular outreach, prayer, and fellowship, we ensure they remain cherished and supported members of our community.
