Servants On Standby (S.O.S.) is a ministry which communicates a non-monetary, one time, or short term need to an email list of volunteers who may be able to assist with your need.  If one of our volunteers has the skills and availability to meet your request, they will contact you. 

If you would like to volunteer as one of our Servants On Standby and begin receiving the email alerts, or if you need this type of assistance call the Congregational Care Ministries at 331-2213.

“I’m in crisis!”

IMMEDIATE: Because trauma and trials rarely occur at a good time, we offer 24x7 prayer and care. Call 512.331.5050, then dial 2 and a prayer and care team member will return your call.

Crisis Care Training:  We equip people to establish a support team around a family member or friend going through a crisis.  This equipping provides resources for them in recruiting a team and organizing the team's activities to meet the specific needs of the individual or family.

If you have questions about establishing a support team for someone, call the Congregational Care Ministries at 331-2213.

Benevolence:  The Benevolence team assesses requests for financial assistance from individuals in need and then works with them toward a solution, which may include providing temporary, short-term assistance.  if you would like to volunteer to serve in this ministry or apply for assistance, call the church office at 331-5050 and ask for the Benevolence ministry.

• Celebrate Recovery is a ministry to recover God's image regardless of life's habits, hurts and hang-ups. God's healing is full and freeing. If you are haunted by shame, blame or guilt, let God lavish his love on you through Celebrate Recovery or one of the other groups we offer.

The result is peace, serenity, joy and a deeper relationship with God.
