Ministries: Congregational Care and Fellowship
From preparing food to sending get-well cards, the people of Fifth Church maintain an attitude of active service to their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We have organized groups that cater to the unique needs of us all, as a means to establish and strengthen growing relationships with each other and with God.  
     

 

Prayer Ministries

Prayer Connection
People of Fifth Church with specific prayer needs are encouraged to contact church staff. We record requests on a telephone hotline to make members of the church family aware and updated on the status of people in need of prayer.
Requests may be heard by dialing 475-HOPE.
