Friendship Ministry is a ministry to adults who are disabled.  Two evenings a month and one Saturday a month volunteers create a worship time, enjoy arts and crafts, song, and share a meal with those who are disabled. This ministry is important in the lives of those it serves. Below is a breakdown of some of the ways you can get involved. For more information you may contact info@peacegahanna.org.
