Resources Beyond the Church
Sometimes we need the kind of help that the church isn’t equipped to provide. At such times, we can turn to community resources. We hope this page will be helpful in pointing you to the best place for whatever life situation you are facing.
If you are aware of any resources that are not listed here or know of any corrections that need made, please email the information to Joyce Day, Pastor of Congregational Care, at joyce@stjconnect.org.
