Our Purpose
The fundamental purpose of the Resource Team is to assist the Conference Care Committee in locating and securing, safe and effective help for those with diverse and unusually difficult needs, as well as offering any other services that might be useful to them.
The Conference Care Committee, like other conference committees and boards, utilizes some additional help from brothers and sisters of different congregations. Those that have been utilized have been given staff approval from their home congregations.
These conference level boards and committees within the church serve a particular purpose and have provided valuable services to the welfare of the members.
It is with the same vision and desire to be of service that the Conference Care Committee, and their Resource Team purpose to serve the church, answering requests by congregational leaders and their members, for help in seeking, securing, and maintaining resources and support for their families suffering diverse and very difficult issues in their lives.
It is the desire and goal of the Conference Care Committee and the Resource Team to develop and maintain the work and make resources and information easily available to all our congregations.
We want to be a safe, secure place, a friendly place in which the compassionate heart of the church can be further expressed in the healing of these loved ones dealing with difficult circumstances in their lives.
The Lord willing, it will continue in further development and service until it is no longer needed in this life.
