This ministry provides fellowship and care for the congregation. Included in this ministry are:

Presbyterian Women: This well organized group of women offers a variety of ways for women to get involved in bible study, fellowship and mission. They provide local and international mission support, college scholarships, opportunities for leadership development, spiritual retreats, funeral receptions, a variety of Bible studies, in addition to fellowship opportunities. These dedicated women have brought demonstrations of Christ’s love into many of our church wide events and many women’s lives.

The Deacon Ministry

A Ministry of Compassion

“We are called to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress both within and beyond the community of faith. In scripture the office of Deacon is one of sympathy, witness and service, after the example of Jesus Christ.” (From the Book of Order, Presbyterian Church, USA)

At Palms, the Ministry of Deacons provides care for our members and extended family.

Deacons meet monthly for continuing support of one another in ministry and for education. In addition, each Deacon is involved with one of the ministry teams described in this brochure.
