Christians are responsible for the care: God is responsible for cure.
The care ministry team of Dundee Presbyterian Church works together to meet multiple needs within the church. We welcome your involvement to share the love of Christ with one another in times of need.
The team is made up of deacons of the church, care partners and many faithful volunteers. This is important to the overall health and well-being of the congregation. We are committed to connecting, growing and serving one another by caregiving.
Through this we build Christ centered relationships while caring for the spiritual, emotional, social and physical needs of individuals and families. We advocate, remove barriers and provide resources to meet needs and improve quality of life while assessing spiritual, emotional, physical and social needs of the whole person.
If you would like more information please contact Regina Wilson RN, Director of Congregational Care at rwilson@dpcomaha.org.
