Care & Compassion

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

— Francis of Assisi


AIDS Care Ribbon
AIDS Care Team

This team, which partners with Alliance of Aids Services Carolina, offers practical and emotional support to people in our community living with HIV/AIDS. The Team is paired with one care partner and provides support through individual contact and social activities including dinners, movies, and other outings. 


HannahMinistry-150x150
Hannah Ministry

The Hannah Ministry was created to serve women and couples who have experienced pregnancy loss, infant loss, or infertility. We acknowledge the physical, emotional, and spiritual impact of these struggles and seek to bring this grief out of the shadows of secrecy and into a community of compassion. To this end, the ministry offers resources and confidential, supportive care to those affected.  To learn more, visit Project Pomegranate.

W.E. Stanley Mission House

The W. E. Stanley Mission House provides a comfortable, peaceful, and nurturing environment to assist in the care of patients and their families who are receiving medical care away from home and need affordable housing assistance. The facility is operated in partnership with Host Homes at Duke University Medical Center.


Reality Ministries

Reality Ministries fosters friendships among people of all abilities marked by mutuality, authenticity, and the reality of Christ’s love for all.  Reality Ministries offers evening and daytime programs that provide inclusive opportunities for sharing food, fellowship, games, singing, messages from the Bible, service projects, and more for individuals with developmental disabilities, ages 18 and over.  The WSBC Reality Ministries Mission Groups partners with Reality Ministries to develop opportunities to welcome and support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our congregation and community.
