“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress...”
-James 1:27


At Providence Church we desire to be a community of believers who work together for the good of the body and who care for members of our family during times of need. As Christians, we are called to look after orphans and widows and to extend our hands when we see a need. The Mercy Ministries are all about helping those who, because of their circumstances, are unable to complete the daily tasks of living on their own.  


Transportation Team (commitment: varies)
Team members will provide rides to church, to medical appointments, to the grocery store, or other various places. Team members should be good listeners and must have a current driver’s license and auto insurance.  

Lawn Care (commitment: varies, April through October)
If you enjoy being outside, gardening, and mowing the lawn, you could serve through this special ministry to those in need.  Owning a lawn mower is not required.

Housecleaning (commitment: varies)
There are times in life when household duties must be put on the back burner to focus on other, more important, things. Willing service in any capacity is needed.

Meals Team (commitment: varies)
Members of the Meals Team occasionally provide a simple meal to those in need in our church family. Meals are organized for those in need due to sickness, death or trauma in the family, and for families when a new baby is born.

Babysitting (commitment: varies)
Times come up when a mother or father must be in two places at once. This burden can be eliminated by volunteers who are willing to watch young children so the parents can tend to other responsibilities. This is not a babysitting service, but a ministry to those in need.
