CONGREGATIONAL CARE
This ministry team is the hand of Christ extended as it reaches out to the congregation by making hospital visits to church family members, visiting the bereaved and shut-ins, and connecting with people at different points along life’s path. Individuals and teams of trained, compassionate caregivers are available to share their gifts in giving care to those who face a personal and transitional crisis.
Congregational Care Ministries consist of Baptism, Counseling, Tele-Care, Visitation, and We Care.
Baptism
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded in the Holy Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. The Baptism Ministry brings the New Believer to a place of understanding of Water Baptism and assists them through the act of Baptism.
If you have not been baptized by immersion, (complete submersion in water) since you accepted Jesus as your Savior, in accordance with the Word of God, you may need to be baptized. The Baptismal Committee will contact candidates with the exact date of the baptism.
Please fill out and submit a Baptismal Application.

Counseling
Pastors and lay-ministers who work with individuals and groups, handle marriage and family counseling, and work individually with believers with issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal relationship difficulties, etc.
Through the use of Scripture and prayer, ministry is provided to people who believe that our God comes as Wonderful Counselor in the Person of the Holy Spirit, imparting wisdom, motivation for change, and healing.
Tele-care
Tele-care is a ministry which conveys to new converts, visitors, the sick and the shut in, the elderly, and the general membership the love of Christ through telephone calls.
One of the main functions of Tele-care is to notify and encourage new believers. Each week Tele-Care volunteers inform new believers about the various classes that are offered at Resurrected Life, that can help them in their walk with the Lord. Tele-care workers pray for new converts and visitors and for blessings and any special needs that arise.
Visitation Ministry
This ministry provides encouragement and comfort for persons who are hospitalized or shut-in. For some, the healing process is long and lonely. This team of ministers schedule periodic follow-up with the sick and their families. If needed, they arrange for meals to be brought in or for the house to be cleaned up, or help by picking up groceries or medicine.
We Care
This ministry adds a personal touch of encouragement to those in the church family by sending birthday cards, encouraging and special occasion notes.
