The Romans 12:15 Ministry  

The Romans 12:15 ministry reaches out to the UACC church family in times of short-term needs. Paul wrote to the Romans, "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." As the needs are determined, the volunteers are called upon to provide care, such as a phone call, sending a card, a hot meal, a ride to church, or a helping hand at times. This ministry supplements the lay pastor, visitation and pastoral ministries of the church, helping increase the level of care for the congregation.
