mercy ministry

Goal: The goal of WEPC's Mercy Ministry is to bring glory to God through addressing the basic practical needs of those in the WEPC family and the surrounding community in a biblically sound manner, with wisdom and compassion.

Leaders and their roles: WEPC's Deacons and Deacon Assistants (DA) lead this ministry and meet regularly with those in need, to listen and to pray. They also connect them to other WEPC ministries, and offer practical assistance based on individuals' needs and WEPC's ability to help. When deemed appropriate, Deacons and DAs are also able to offer short-term financial assistance through WEPC's Mercy Fund.

I would like to give directly to the WEPC Mercy Fund
