Care and Support for our community is an integral part of ACC
Whether you’re in need of assistance, or you’re looking for a way to serve, read below for more information about our Care and Support Ministries.
Dementia Caregivers Support Group
Last Wednesday Monthly from @1pm in G1
The Dementia Caregivers Support Group has a goal of ministering to the growing number of adults who care for friends and family affected by the many forms of Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. By keeping the Caregivers healthy, informed, and encouraged there is a better outlook for the patient and the caregiver and less likelihood that they will both literally disappear from the “Body of Believers” with whom they used to worship and serve regularly. Along with that, our Facilitators hold an abiding faith and trust in Christ as Lord and Savior and therefore offer members continuing intercessory prayer and encouragement based on the Word of God.
