Mercy Ministry
Atonement’s Mercy Ministry is a substantial part of the Deacon’s work at Atonement. Hands-on care and financial help are harnessed together to support church members facing emergencies.
The Mercy Committee is in partnership with community organizations whose missions include housing, food, alternatives to abortion, and other needed service. Finally, the Mercy Committee oversees the church’s ministry of responding to guests who come with requests for assistance.

Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is a priority at Church of the Atonement. Our pastors are committed to knowing every person who regularly attends the church in order to help them grow from unbelief to mature, joyful faith in Christ. This commitment plays out wonderfully in another way also: when personal ministry is needed, a bridge of mutual respect and trust is already in place.
Weddings: If you are planning a wedding, one of our pastors will happily assist you, provide counsel, and officiate at the wedding if asked. In doing so, we work with our Church’s Marriage Mentoring Ministry.
Hospitalizations: If you are going to the hospital for surgery, one of our pastors will be with you when you enter and follow up with you afterward.
Grief and Loss: If you suffer the death of a loved one, our pastors are ready to offer the comforts of Christ, help plan for a funeral, and then conduct it.
Unable to Leave Your House: If you are home-bound, our pastors will bring the Lord’s Supper to you and visit you there.
Counseling: If you or your family are in crisis, our pastors will provide pastoral counseling and make referrals as needed for additional care. There is virtually no difficulty, suffering, addiction, or conflict that our pastors have not helped members with.
Baptisms: Our pastors disciple new believers and prepare them for baptism. They also prepare believing parents for the baptism of their infants.
