Servanthood Ministries
These ministries are involved in building up the body of Christ through supporting the internal structure of the church and making certain the needs of the congregation are met. These ministries understand that there are many new experiences for a person entering a fellowship of believers, either for the first time, or as a result of a relocating. And, these ministries are in place to make that transition smooth.
