MINISTRIES

Azalea believes in being available to others, and has participated in many long standing ministries throughout the years.

Tampa Interfaith Airport Chaplaincy -- TIA

This Chaplaincy program was founded 22 years ago by Rev. Shields Moore, our own late member of Azalea.  We join other churches in walking through the main airport terminals and offices.  We do not promote any religious doctrine; but visit, listen, give counsel when appropriate, take prayer requests, and try to help provide a friendly and cordial environment for all the employees and travelers at the airport.  We also send cards, deliver baby blankets, and a chaplain visits the hospitals.

Azalea Middle School Prayer Walkers 

Every Monday morning, the prayer walkers meet to pray for our school.  This is an ongoing ministry of over 20 years.  The school and the individual staff members have accepted us, believe we care for them, and know we will pray for them.  They understand we are a church who is interested in the school, and also in them personally.

Joy Basket Ministry

Each Mother's Day and Christmas season, with the Joy Life Group's coordination, we prepare and deliver baskets to "CASA," the "Pregnancy Center," and Resurrection House."  This is another long standing ministry.
