Mercy Ministry

Our Purpose

Centered in Christ

We are gifted by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to Serve the Body of Christ at FBC in mercy and grace

Connected to one another

as one body in Christ, we share in each other’s suffering and joy.

Called by God

to minister, we serve the body by coming along side one another to help ease difficulties and overcome barriers, meeting immediate physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

Commissioned to care for the body

in a real and tangible way, we seek to support the activities of the church by partnering with its ministries to accomplish the will of God.

"Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality… Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn."

Romans 12:13, 15

Standard of Care

We believe that the Mercy Ministry at FBC is a hands-on, face-to-face ministry that requires the utmost care in preserving and protecting the dignity of those we serve by responding to needs respectfully with sensitivity, compassion and understanding; maintaining strict confidentiality standards; and fostering a safe environment for those we serve to genuinely experience the unfailing love of God.
