COmmunity care

The Community Care ministries provide practical help and compassionate support during times of need, offering tangible assistance and Christ-centered care. Together, they reflect our commitment to care well for one another and to exemplify Christ’s love.

The Home Visitation ministry provides meaningful companionship to those who may be experiencing isolation. While we are grateful to come alongside individuals in this way, this ministry does not provide caregiving, medical assistance, or transportation.

Care recipients must be a Wayside Chapel attendee or member and fall into one of the following categories: individuals who are shut-in and dependent on others for transportation, residents of assisted living, nursing homes, or rehabilitation facilities.

If you or a loved one would benefit from this ministry, complete the application below, and a member of the Agape Ministry team will follow up with you within 1–3 business days.
