The emotional impact of a diagnosis can be overwhelming. Being part of a support group means you do not have to navigate cancer alone. Social support and encouragement are very important in helping us cope with adversity, as cancer can be one of life’s most difficult challenges.
Many of the individuals involved are cancer survivors and caregivers who understand firsthand what patients and their loved ones go through. Our hope is based on God’s promises to us and our mission is to support you in any way we can. We will walk alongside you, trust and believe in you and help empower your faith through the cancer journey.
We pray weekly for our cancer patients. To get connected with prayer warriors with the Cancer Care Ministry, use the form linked below.
The Cancer Care Ministry is proud to be able to offer a care bag to cancer warriors, filled with gifts and resources. All of these resources are provided for you at no charge and have been prayed over by cancer survivors and our church family. Our prayer is they provide spiritual and emotional support for patients and families. Inside your bag, you’ll find:
NEW: If you or your patient lives out of state, you can request a care box, and we will mail it to them!
Throughout the course of our lives, each one of us will have to have difficult conversations with the Creator at some point. Circumstances arise that cause us to come face-to-face with the reality of this fallen world. Oneof those many circumstances is a cancer diagnosis. How exactly do you pray to the Lord in such a time of uncertainty and fear?
When our members volunteer to serve in our ministry, we review all potential areas of service with them and ask those who are spiritually gifted to provide one-on-one support for patients to be part of our Care Buddy team. When we receive requests to provide personalized support for a cancer patient, someone reaches out to personally match that person to a Care Buddy who has walked a similar path.
Our Care Buddies understand every patient is different and work very hard to find the right balance of confidential support based on the patients spiritual, emotional and practical needs. This one-to-one relationship is one of the core foundations of our program.
In the midst of a cancer diagnosis, most people are overwhelmed by the challenges they face. There are countless decisions to make, questions to ask and emotions to process. In conjunction with the Not Alone – Choose Faith Over Fear video series, this guide provides practical and spiritual support for every step in your cancer journey. Each chapter includes relevant insights, biblically based encouragement and a QR code that links to the corresponding video. Additionally, it includes ample space to take notes, so you can record important information, jot down questions or journal thoughts and feelings along the way.
Throughout October each year, you can support our Cancer Care Ministry by creating and praying over blankets that will be given out to friends, neighbors, North Texas Hospitals and Cancer Centers. Download the blanket instructions, watch the tutorial and create a blanket right at home! This is an inspiring project to do with your family and/or LifeGroup! Please return the blanket to the Missions Wall.

Much of our ministry’s time, energy, talent and resources are dedicated to supporting referrals from our church members, their families, friends and coworkers who have been impacted by cancer. In addition, we support the local community by delivering care bags to local cancer treatment centers. Since our conception, we have also built relationships with cancer non-profits in the area and now partner with them to provide transportation, Make-A-Wish trips, special events and childcare.
