Care Ministry

The acronym "C.A.R.E." stands for "care About Reaching Everybody." The congregation has been divided into 35 different areas or flocks with 12-15 families in each flock. There is one care minister assigened to each flock. These care ministers send birthday, anniversary, and get well cards to family members, and make regular contacts via telephone or email with the members of their flocks to see if they have any needs from the church or staff. They also pray for the members of their flocks. Care ministers receive monthly training from Pastor Steve Theil, our Director of Care Ministries. The training class meets on the 2nd Sunday of each month at 8:00 am in B201 and is open to all. If you would like to become a care minister, please contact Pastor Theil at 480-860-1188 ext. 204 or stheil@sotdaz.org.
