Care Ministry

Board of Deacons

Deacons at First Presbyterian Church are charged with being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, ministering to the sick, the infirm, the lonely, the depressed, the destitute and anyone in any kind of need in the example and name of our Savior.   This ministry is done through acts of service, words of encouragement, gifts of generosity and a heart of mercy. Our Board of Deacons consists of church members called by the congregation to provide this quiet ministry. Deacons are often paired with homebound members and friends, and seek to encourage them with visits, cards and, at certain times of the year, home communion, developing lasting friendships.  

Prayer Ministry

The Prayer Ministry Team intercedes on behalf of church members and others seeking prayer support, with prayer serving as a link between God’s inexhaustible resources and people’s needs. The team’s efforts are two-fold:

1) to intercede – walking alongside other Christians helping them align themselves with the will of God,

2) to equip and encourage – serving as a role model of others to grow in their understanding and practice of prayer.

To share a confidential prayer request with the Prayer Ministry Team please email info@firstpreslax.org or contact the church office (608-784-4248) and they will forward your prayer request. 

Community Care

The needs in our community are great and our pastor and congregation are intentional about responding at a personal level. Pastor Haley is available on a routine, scheduled basis to meet with community members experiencing need. The congregation supports assistance through their financial support to the Board of Deacons.
