Providing Care for the People by the People
We all have defining moments in our lives—challenging circumstances, relational pain, transitional seasons. How we respond during these times has a direct impact on our futures. There are many ways we seek to care and nurture one another and God’s created world. At Franklin First UMC, we believe that God’s greatest gift of healing and reconciliation come from Grace through Jesus Christ.
We give love because God gives love to us unconditionally.
There are times when you need a pastor, to listen, to be present, to be an advocate. Although we are a large congregation, it is the Congregational Care Ministry’s mission to provide care and support to families and individuals in a personal and compassionate way and to provide an atmosphere and opportunity to sense God’s presence and provision.
