The Welfare Ministry is a vital arm of the church which reflects the heart of God through love, care, and support for His people. It is more than a department—it is a demonstration of Christ’s compassion in action.
The Welfare Ministry exists to meet the physical and emotional needs of the church members and the wider community. Just as the early church in the Acts of the Apostles ensured that no one lacked anything, the Welfare Ministry continues this legacy by providing assistance to those in need through food support, clothing, visitation, counseling, and encouragement.
The Ministry serves as the hands and feet of Christ, addressing the physical, emotional, and practical needs of individuals. Its work flows from biblical commands to love, care, and serve others—especially the vulnerable.

Key Functions of the Welfare Ministry
1. Care and Support.
The primary role is to provide care and support to church members by identifying and assisting individuals and families facing challenges, both temporary and ongoing.
2. Visitation.
The ministry reaches out through visitation to the sick, bereaved, and absent members, offering love, prayer, encouragement, and a sense of belonging.
3. Spiritual and Emotional Restoration.
We provide emotional encouragement and prayer support and work closely with pastors and church leaders to ensure holistic care—spiritual, emotional, and physical.
