During this time without a pastor, it's important that we offer each other congregational care. We have a number of resources within our community to support you and our community. To ask for help, please email elders@pghopendoor.org

Our deacons are available to provide physical assistance. We also have a list of volunteers trained to listen and assist you with needs of a more sensitive or confidential nature. Finally, if you would like to ask the Prayer Team and/or the congregation to offer prayers on your behalf, please use the "prayer request form" on our church website.
