Matthew's Ministry
Matthew's Ministry is Church of the Resurrection's awareness, outreach and support ministry for persons with special needs and their families. By showing the love of God to those who are sometimes considered by society to be "the least of these", we fulfill Christ's command and serve those in great need.
