Our Needs
Pastoral and Laity Ministries (PaLM) is a parachurch organization that depends on the prayer support, financial contributions, and volunteer services of both churches and individuals to fulfill its mission. Listed below are our current needs. We encourage you to read through the list below and see what interests you. And if God speaks to you about partnering with us in one or more areas, we rejoice at the opportunity to work together with you, as one, for His kingdom and glory.
IMPORTANT NOTE regarding the financial and ministry needs listed below. It is our belief that the Bible teaches that every Christian's FIRST priority is the church. Therefore, we encourage you to FIRST tithe to your church and serve in your church BEFORE contributing financially to PaLM and/or offering to serve in PaLM. It's not that we don't want your money or your service(s). We do! But, we also believe that it is God's desire that the needs of the church be met first before we consider the needs of others (e.g. parachurch organization).
