Human Care Ministries are those ministries that seek to serve the bodily as well as the spiritual needs of hurting people. Human Care Ministries focus on a variety of ministry areas from homeless, substance abuse, and domestic violence to areas of devotional life and vocation. These ministries seek to bring the hurting to Christ Jesus and share with them the comfort and forgiveness we have in Him.
