Building & Finance Team

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also .
Luke 12:34

The Building & Finance Team is responsible for handling the financial matters of the church and issues relating to current and future building concerns. A subgroup of this team volunteers as handymen to assist with minor repairs, so additional hands are always welcome.

In addition, the members of this team are willing to share their expertise and experience with members of the C3 family who need advice on financial matters such as buying a new home/car or managing your personal finances in a Christian way.

Contact Finance@C3Wheeling.org if you would like to talk to someone about financial issues or if you have gifts that could be used as a member of this team.

Helping Hands

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
Colossians 3:23

Helping Hands is the ministry team that is called upon, when needed, to lend a "helping hand" to the other ministries in the church.  Although often invisible, the work they do in invaluable to the smooth operation of the church. No special skills are required; just a willingness to gather and fellowship while offering your "helping hands" to do work for the Lord.

Some examples of the kinds of work done by this group include folding bulletins, labeling mass mailings, punching out invitation cards, bundling door hangers, collating directories, cutting out Sunday School materials, and binding study guides.  

If you have some free time on an as-needed basis and would like to enjoy the company of other servants, Helping Hands welcomes you to join them. Contact HelpingHands@C3Wheeling.org and let us know you’re willing to lend a hand.

Mercy / Church Team

Show mercy and compassion to one another.
Zachatiah 7:9

The Mercy / Church Team exists to serve members of the C3 family in time of need. If you or someone in your family is ill, hospitalized, has a new baby, etc., the team would like to help by bringing meals, visiting you at home or in the hospital, or providing other help that you may need. The team also prepares and serves memorial meals after funeral services.

If there is a need, please contact the church office or MercyChurch@C3Wheeling.org. We’d rather hear about something multiple times than not know about someone who needs help, so don’t be shy about calling!

People who have a gift for this type of ministry are also encouraged to join the team.
