Workers in Transition
Men and women searching for jobs come together to share ideas and resources, mutual encouragement and spiritual guidance. It is very much a networking opportunity. It is not just about getting a job; it is about getting a life. We share our specific work situations with each other as well as the resources we have found in hopes of helping each other to make useful contacts and, ultimately, find gainful employment.

Stephen Ministry
Tower Hill has a group of people skilled in caring for those facing challenges in their lives. These people, called Stephen Ministers, have undergone extensive training to develop their caring skills. Following their commissioning, they began their caring ministries in our congregation and community. Click here for more information on Tower Hill's Stephen Ministry.

Grief Care
A new Grief Care Ministry Team has been formed to provide short-term support to help bereaved familes and friends through the mechanics and stress of the funeral or memorial service process. This is a Nurture Team ministry.

Card Ministry

Currently, 53 members are recipients of cards. If you would like to participate in this ministry, please contact Susan Miller through the Church office at 732 747-1348.
