Churchwide Care Ministry
Recovery groups welcome anyone affected by substance, drug, or alcohol abuse or addictions of any kind, including those struggling with mental health concerns. Online and in-person.
Navigating the challenges of mental health can feel overwhelming and isolating. Resurrection Counseling is here to provide compassionate, expert guidance tailored to you.
If you attend worship or programs at any Resurrection location, financial care and assistance always begins with an appointment with a pastor to explore possible support.
When the death has occurred, our pastors and staff would be honored to provide the service for your loved one here at Resurrection, at the funeral home or graveside.
The Resurrection Wedding Ministry blesses the sacred celebration of Holy Matrimony between two people. Weddings are available for both members and non-members of our congregation, and warmly welcome all couples. We are honored to be part of such a special and meaningful occasion.
Silver Link Ministry serves those who are no longer able to attend church on their own by keeping them engaged in the life of the church through worship services and visitation ministry.
Pet Ministry’s mission is to foster a loving community that nurtures the bonds between people and their pets, demonstrating God’s love through the care and inclusion of pets and their people.
Thank you for inviting us to be in prayer with and for you. Submitting a prayer request is an invitation to our pastoral team to connect and provide care.
Resurrection Congregational Care Ministers
At Resurrection we strive to do ministry with excellence. One way we provide excellent ministry is in the partnership between our Resurrection Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs) and our pastors. With a congregation of our size, we rely on trained CCMs to serve with each of our pastors and staff in making hospital visits, following up on prayer requests, providing one-on-one support for those going through a difficult issue, and much more.
Places to Pray: Prayer Walk
Our Prayer Walk is located south of building A. The eight stations are on a path about one third of a mile, or the same distance as the Via Dolorosa—the path Jesus walked from Pilate’s court to the cross. The scripture, natural surroundings and art encountered at each station follow the mission and ministry of Christ. Click here to learn more about each station.
