Request a Ride

Thank you so much for considering to serve as a driver for members at Fremont who need rides to services, bible studies, church wide events, or medical appointments. It provides a much needed service to these people. Please view the training video below and review the Fremont Transportation Policy and the Fremont Transportation Guidelines and COVID Policy, then fill out the application. We will need to run a current background check on volunteer drivers if the church does not already have one on file for you.

This committee also provides grief support.

The priority each week is to send cards to those that have lost a loved one, or those that are ill, suffering, or in need of prayer.  If Deacons have the time, cards may also be sent to members for a variety of other reasons:  Just to say “Hello” or “Happy Birthday”, or to veterans saying “Thank you for your service” are a few examples.

To request a card to be sent to someone who could use some support, please use the “Contact Us” form and your request will be forwarded to the appropriate person.
