Nurturing Faith Through Care and Connection
Our Congregational Care ministries provide support, encouragement, and spiritual care to our church family, starting with new members.
We are here to walk alongside you as you find your place as part of the Ivy family and in times of need, offering prayer, guidance, and practical assistance. Our goal is to reflect Christ’s love by caring for the emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being of our congregation. Together, we build a strong, supportive community rooted in faith and love.
