Churchwide Care Ministry

Resurrection Congregational Care Ministers
At Resurrection we strive to do ministry with excellence. One way we provide excellent ministry is in the partnership between our Resurrection Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs) and our pastors. With a congregation of our size, we rely on trained CCMs to serve with each of our pastors and staff in making hospital visits, following up on prayer requests, providing one-on-one support for those going through a difficult issue, and much more.
Places to Pray: Prayer Walk
Our Prayer Walk is located south of building A. The eight stations are on a path about one third of a mile, or the same distance as the Via Dolorosa—the path Jesus walked from Pilate’s court to the cross. The scripture, natural surroundings and art encountered at each station follow the mission and ministry of Christ. Click here to learn more about each station.
Crisis & Suicide Intervention
At Resurrection, we believe the worst thing is never the last thing, and there is always a future with hope.
If you are concerned about your safety or the safety of others, we encourage you to call 988 or visit the nearest emergency room.
