Caregiver Support Ministry

This ministry meets the needs of caregivers by providing practical, emotional, educational and spiritual support.  We provide in-home companionship to a loved one and respite (relief) for the caregiver, as well as offer workshops, guest speakers and social events.

This group periodically hosts two training series which are free and open to the public. Savvy Caregivers is a class series for those giving care to someone with dementia, and Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a class series which equips caregivers with what they need to know to optimize their own health as they give care to others.  Questions, contact Elaine Carpenter.    

Dementia Caregivers' Support Group

This in-person support group focuses on the caregivers of those with dementia and takes place the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month at the Sun City Campus.  For more information, contact Cheryl White.
