As Slate Hill’s Minister of Congregational Care, Joy Fasick works to coordinate various types of care within our church. Visits, meals, and other supports during times of illness or grief, regular visitation of our senior members, and contact with our college students are all important ways that we care for each other within our church family. Joy’s role involves seeking out persons within the congregation who are gifted in meeting these needs and coordinating the efforts of these people with those of our care group leaders and elders. At Slate Hill, known as being a “caring church”, congregational care is an important part of living our faith.

Joy grew up in the Mennonite Church where she witnessed Christ’s love enacted with care from a young age. She is currently a student in Eastern Mennonite University’s STEP Program (Study and Training for Effective Pastoral Ministries). Joy and her husband Mike have attended Slate Hill since 2001. They have three children, Matt, Ben, and Ellie
