Ways We Care
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.Galatians 6:2At Custer Road UMC, we care for one another. When challenging or difficult circumstances arise, we are a family. We support and love each other through all sorts of circumstances.
Trained Care Ministry volunteers seek to be the hands and feet of Christ, nurturing and caring for others through life’s challenges.
