Leadership is fundamental to the success of any team or organization and at Christ’s Hands the Board of Directors provides that leadership. God has blessed the ministry year after year to provide the opportunity to meet various needs within the community. The board addresses each matter with prayer, seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit, which has been critical as Christ’s Hands continues to grow. As much as the churches' prayers are sought after for the ministry, clients and community, prayers for the leadership of Christ’s Hands is appreciated as well.
