Mental Health Ministry Team
Our mental health is key to living the fulfilling lives we want to live — and the life God wants for us. Learning to talk about our feelings, developing effective coping strategies, and asking for help makes us stronger, more resilient, and promotes our overall well-being and quality of life. The Mental Health Ministry Team sponsors educational opportunities, brings in speakers, and shares helpful information.
If you are interested in joining this team, contact Debby Foster, email or 336-478-4702.
