"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in ANY affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God" II Corinthians 1:3-4 (RSV)

In the spirit of II Corinthians 1: 3-4 and in obedience to Jesus' example of touching those who are hurting, the mission of the Touch Ministry is to serve as a channel through which God's compassion, healing, love and comfort can flow to the brokenhearted, captive and bruised who are living with HIV/AIDS as well as to those who are the family members, friends and caregivers of individuals with HIV/AIDS. We also seek to educate youth, adults and seasoned citizens within our congregation as well as within our community about HIV/AIDS so as to continually heighten the awareness of as well as to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS as we believe "Knowledge Is Power" and knowledge empowers us to make wise decisions.
   

Touch Ministry works through several programs:

Counseling and Prayer - Confidential one-on-one Christian counseling as well as prayer

Information Meetings - Learning the facts about HIV/AIDS (testing, transmission, prevention, treatment, etc.) through open forums

Inreach and Outreach Services - Linking directly with those in our congregation and community who are impacted by HIV/AIDS

Referral Assistance - Connecting you with HIV/AIDS agencies and organizations that provide case management, transportation, treatment options, support groups
