In June of 1982, the C.A.R.E. program was started for the purpose of instilling a spirit of caring in the Sunday school, Church, and the community. Many faithful church members became involved in the regular visitation of individuals in the community each Thursday night. With the start of the Evangelism Explosion program in the fall of 1985, the name of the C.A.R.E. program was changed to Evangelism/C.A.R.E. so that visitation assignments of both could be handled as one unit. Members of the C.A.R.E. program faithfully served for over 7 years.
