Pastoral care

The Committee meets monthly to receive assignments. E-mail our Minister of Visitation, Grady Moseley at gmoseley@fpcgastonia.org, to request pastoral care or training to assist with this ministry.
Congregational CareThe Diaconate and the Congregational Care Committee celebrate members' birthdays and other life events through personal telephone calls, e-mails, cards, and notes.
