Care Ministry Colonial Baptist Church is strengthening its commitment to provide comfort and care to the church family. Our goal, however, is that the same comfort you experience from Colonial would be multiplied through you to others inside and outside the church.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
