Visitation Teams


Messiah has two types of Visitation Ministries. These volunteers visit members in their homes, assisted living facilities or long term care facilities.


They act as representatives of the Messiah congregation to the person they are visiting.



Visitation Ministry Team


Every month, a member of our Visitation Ministry team goes to those in our community who cannot make it to church, whether it be for medical issues, mobility changes, driving capabilities, or another reason. The team member brings with them conversation, devotion, treats, communion, and a whole lot of love! 

 

Once a year, all of our Visitation Ministry Team members gather for a morning retreat and workshop to welcome new members, hear each other's stories, and learn even more ways from each other how we can be God’s presence for those we visit. As of our last retreat, we had 35 members as part of our Visitation Team.


New Member Visitation Team


Each time a person joins Messiah, a member of the New Member Visitation team visits their home.  The visitor brings the new member a welcome bag. They answers any questions the new members have regarding groups and activities at Messiah.
