How We Care
Stephen Ministers
Stephen Ministers are members of the congregation, trained by Stephen Leaders to offer care to those who are hurting. A Stephen Minister typically has one care receiver at a time and initially meets with that person for an hour weekly.
Phone Ministry
Volunteers check in monthly with homebound members through phone calls, building meaningful connections and offering support.
Mental Health Counseling
Our mental health professionals are here to help. If you or someone you know needs the encouragement, support and hope we offer, please contact us. We can help!
Heavenly Hosts
Our hospitality ministry serves food at receptions, celebrations, and funerals. Baking, serving and cleanup are included. To volunteer for this ministry, contact Barbara Edhlund at bedhlund@fumcplano.org.
Hospital Visits
Trained volunteers visit people in hospitals and rehabilitation centers on weekends, offering prayer and encouragement.
Home Communion
Volunteers serve communion to those who are homebound members who cannot attend services.
Financial Coaching
Free, confidential financial coaching is available for church members, visitors, and the community. Sessions can be in person or online and are tailored to each person’s needs.
