Congregational Care
brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)
An integral blessing of being part of the body of Christ is trusting that you have
a community of faith to support you with prayer, visits, calls, meals,
transportation and other services when you are going through a difficult time.
It is often through simple acts of kindness that we experience the love and grace
of God. These programs support our members in all phases of their lives during
times of illness, grief, joy or difficult times no matter what they are.
Due to Federal Privacy laws, hospitals and nursing homes do not contact the church
when members are admitted. To inform us of a hospitalization, call the church office
at 704-847-0864. If it is after hours, please leave a message in the general mail
box. In an emergency after church office hours, call Pastor Steve at 704-302-7383.
Member Support
Few, if any, of us get through life’s twists and turns without help from others.
From time to time we all need a little help and support, whether it’s a meal, special
prayer, visit or transportation.
Visitation
Pastor Steve visits members who are ill or homebound.
Care Teams
A care team consists of six church members who provide assistance to an
individual or family needing long-term help with daily living due to a prolonged
illness or physical or mental disability. All information about individuals is kept
confidential by all members of the care team. If you are in need of a care team,
please contact Pastoral Care.
Prayer Chain
The prayer chain is a vital ministry at MorningStar Presbyterian Church that
seeks to provide care and support to church members going through various
difficulties and to rejoice with those who have joys to share.
In order to make a prayer request, please email Mark Hutchens at
