Our Church, through its Board of Deacons, offers a referral source for transportation services for our congregation. Requests for transportation are made by individuals, referrals from the pastors, or via the various ministries of the Board of Deacons.

When we receive a request for transportation, we have a list of willing volunteers who will provide rides to medical appointments, to and from Church for worship and other church events. Also, rides are sometimes organized without the need for Deacon intervention and can be arranged on an informal, independent basis.

Please note that volunteers who help with transportation are considered friends. In consulting the church’s insurance company, the church is not liable for accidents of any nature or incidents “between friends.”

However, to ensure the safety of all, the Board of Deacons has developed a thoughtful screening device. The Deacon coordinating the transportation ministry will screen each request in order to identify any physical disability that may need to be noted. If so, the information is shared with the individual who will be providing the transportation.

We thank all of our volunteers who assist in this ministry, and we always welcome others who would be willing to participate in this important ministry.
