Caring for One Another
At Clarkston United Methodist Church, we believe that caring for each other during times of challenge, grief, and transition is at the heart of being a faith community. Our caring ministries provide support, encouragement, and practical assistance when you need it most.
Whether you're facing illness, grief, life transitions, or other challenges, you don't have to face them alone. Our clergy team and trained volunteers offer compassionate care through various ministries designed to meet diverse needs within our congregation and community.
