WORSHIP BY GIVING – Giving is a part of our worship at Wade. Since we don’t pass the offering plates like we used to, we want to make giving as convenient as possible for you by installing new secure offering boxes in the front foyer. We will still have ushers at the doors as you exit services as well as our other drop boxes and online giving options. Your giving supports important missions and resources necessary to change lives with the Gospel!
VISITATION – WBC’s Congregational Care ministry (visitation outreach) is always in need of members willing to go out into the community to visit other members, including our homebound members.
