C.A.R.E. Ministry: Christians Assisting, Relating, and Encouraging

The C.A.R.E. Ministry is a hands-on extension of our L.I.F.E. (Living in Fellowship & Encouragement) group, designed to help meet real needs within our Woodland Hills church family. Whether someone is facing illness, grief, loneliness, or everyday challenges, this ministry ensures that no member –  especially our seniors, widows/widowers, or those going through hardship – feels overlooked or unsupported.

Together, we bear one another’s burdens and reflect the love of Christ in action.

How It Works

  1. Needs are submitted by phone, email, or in-person.

  2. The L.I.F.E. leadership team reviews each request and identifies the support needed.

  3. A C.A.R.E. volunteer is contacted based on fit and availability.

  4. The volunteer confirms the assignment and provides assistance, or helps coordinate additional support if needed.

There’s no long-term commitment required to volunteer. You’ll only be contacted when a need arises that matches your interests, and you’re always free to say yes or no.
