We NURTURE and love each other through fellowship as a family of faith.
SHPC offers a grief support ministry for anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one – whether that loss happened recently or some time ago. This is an 8-week journey. Each week you will be presented with a topic on grief in a video put together by experts in the field as well as hear from individuals who have suffered loss themselves. Acknowledging that God is the Healer of all wounds, materials are Christ-centered and Biblically-based.
Groups meet in the spring and fall on Mondays at 6:00 p.m. Workbooks are provided.
Stephen Ministry is a lay ministry that helps those facing life’s difficulties receive Christian love and support through one-to-one, confidential, caring relationships.

The identity of those receiving care and everything discussed remains private.

As part of Sequoyah Hills Presbyterian Church’s overall mission, The Deacons’ Fund Ministry serves church members in times of temporary financial crisis by providing financial assistance from The Deacons’ Fund. The fund is based on a spirit and intent of Christian compassion. Financial support may go toward items such as an unexpected medical bill, a family crisis, a job loss or change that brings financial hardship.
Click HERE to apply for assistance.
The aim of this fund is to meet small, critical needs that arise on an unanticipated, unbudgeted basis in the life of someone you know. This need would be for tangible items such as food, a new tire, or a special provision. The recipient does not have to be a member of SHPC. The fund is designed to meet the needs of others we may come across on our path. All gifts are anonymous.

We respond to God’s grace through the gift of prayer. The Christian life is one of constant prayer, as the challenge of everyday discipleship requires daily disciplines of faith. Prayer is an opportunity to draw inspiration and strength from one’s relationship with God in Jesus Christ.
A deacon is available to pray with and/or for you after each Worship Service (Fowler Conference Room after 8:45 Service; Chapel after 11:00 service) or email Pastor Mark Lampley or call at 865.522.9804.
Walk the Labyrinth, an ancient tool for prayer and meditation, consisting of one winding path that begins at the periphery and leads to a central space, and then out again by the same path. It is simply a way to open yourself to the presence of God. Click HERE to learn more. Click HERE to watch a Youtube video about Praying the Labyrinth. This video is simply a starting point, its theology is not reflective of SHPC. It is merely a teaching tool to get you started.
