If you are walking through cancer, the Cancer Care Ministry would like to support you!  Although each person has different needs, we can offer support in many ways. Ideas of how we can come alongside you may include: personal encouragement and prayer support, rides to appointments, errands, meals, housework, lawn care, respite breaks for caregivers, childcare, and help with administrative needs like taxes and estate planning. We also offer Oasis Cancer Care Support Groups beginning in February.  These groups will meet every 1st and 3rd weeks of the month, on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30 and Friday mornings from 10:30-12:00pm. These support groups are an opportunity for those who are going through cancer to join together in a safe space, offering understanding, support, encouragement and prayer to one another.

OUR PURPOSE:  The Cause seeks for students to know Him and make Him known! Philippians 3:8

This happens through a discipleship team, or "D-Team", we provide opportunities for students in similar grades to grow in their walk with Jesus alongside adult leaders (1 Cor. 11:1). D-Team's aim to create relationships where God’s Word can speak to the real issues students encounter. The students are continually challenged to be in God's Word and engage in the local church.

Oikos Groups promote community and make large church feel small by bringing people together weekly to apply biblical truths from Sunday sermons. These informal, small group settings provide the ideal environment for building relationships with other believers who want to be challenged in their faith and grow in friendship and unity. Childcare is available on Sunday and Tuesday evenings at the church.

Registration is now open for the 2026 Made to Minister Conference, a two-day gathering centered on the theme “The Wonderful Counselor: Lessons from the Life of Jesus.” Rooted in John 1:14, this year’s conference invites biblical counselors, ministry leaders, and helpers to sit at the feet of Christ—the One who perfectly embodies wisdom, truth, and grace. Together, we will explore not only what Jesus taught, but how He ministered: His compassion, discernment, and unwavering commitment to truth. Through teaching, reflection, and shared learning, we will consider how Jesus’ life and ministry shape the way we listen, speak, and care for others in our own counseling and discipleship contexts.Come be encouraged, equipped, and renewed as we grow together in counseling that reflects the heart of Christ, our Wonderful Counselor.

Registration for the 2026/27 Equipped to Counsel training program is open!

Whether you're seeking to care for others more effectively, strengthen your counseling skills, or deepen your understanding of biblical discipleship, this training will equip you with practical tools and a Christ-centered foundation for ministry. Learn more and apply at shccounseling.org/training.
