CARE MINISTRY AT FOUR OAKS KILLEARN
Caring for the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of our church and community through a number of different ministries listed below.
GriefShare is a ministry designed to provide support to anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one—a spouse, child, family member, or friend. GriefShare small groups are led by caring people at Four Oaks who have experienced grief and want to help you through the difficult days ahead. We don’t want you to experience grief alone!
