Handyman Ministry
Formed from Men for Christ, the Handyman’s group offers their handyman services on projects around the church and to those in need within our church. Individuals requiring assistance with simple tasks they are unable to complete themselves (such as replacing smoke detectors, yard assistance or minor home repairs) can put in a request for help from this group by using the link to the form below.
