Here's what some ChristCare group members at Fellowship had to say about their group:

"It is a good way to connect with fellow Christians. It is a blessing to hear the testimonies of fellow members. You can learn so much from each other."

"It is a great program that brings you to a new place in your devotions and how to apply Christ to your life. Be ready to share of yourself and be blessed with the fellowship of fellow Christians."

"Everyone is willing to listen and pray for each other. this group is a growing experience."

"I know I am loved and accepted by everyone in my ChristCare group and I have the assurance that they are praying and will pray for me."

ChristCare Groups are a ministry developed and supported through Stephen Ministries. You can learn more at the ChristCare website. Contact any of the ChristCare leaders listed above for more information.
