Dementia Caregiver Support
Caring for a parent, sibling, or spouse with dementia can be an emotionally and physically taxing undertaking. While each caregiver’s experience will vary, the Dementia Caregiver Support Team strives to support the caregivers in our community by providing opportunities for facilitated peer discussions in a support group, practical resources, and training from local organizations that could aid in caring for your loved one, all the while, resting in the truth and hope of the gospel of Jesus.

Meal Team
There may come a time when you or your family are in need of support from friends at the church who bless people with meals. This could be after a baby is born, a hospitalization, or during a period of bereavement after a loved one’s funeral. The Kirk’s Meal Team is prepared to support our members in their time of need by providing meals for a period of time. Contact Carrie Spencer at carrie.spencer@thekirk.org
