THE MINISTRY OF CALL TO A.R.M.S.
We have a bi-monthly dinner where ALL military families, and especially spouses facing deployment or remote, can find connection and community with other military families. This is an every other month gathering that takes place from September to May during which military families help each other and discuss various issues surrounding deployments, remotes, and the unique military life-style. We have guest speakers, a lending-based resource center designed specifically for military families, and much more. This gathering takes place on the campus of Whitley Church at 6pm. Children of all ages are welcomed to attend. Free children’s programs are provided!
Help for spouses of deployed/remote military members to offer support with those hard to do chores while your spouse is deployed or remote, such as lawn mowing and edging, small household repairs, meals during times of hospitalization, etc.
Military Bible studies are available for couples new to the military, those preparing for deployments, ladies’ studies for military marriages, military family issues, etc.
We have a prayer team that maintains e-mail contact with the deployed/remote members to stay up-to-date with prayer requests. This team strategically and consistently prays for them while they are at home and abroad.
