Cancer Ministry
 There
is a growing need in the Gwinnett community to minister to those
struggling with serious illness. One of the most common of these is
cancer. Either directly or indirectly, cancer has touched almost
every family.
In response, Cannon Church has pioneered a ministry to address the
needs of cancer patients and their families. Our mission is to
provide spiritual, emotional, non-medical physical and informational
support to those affected by this disease.
Please take a moment to review this information and discover how
Cannon Church can help.
If you are interested in our assistance or wish to become part of
the Ministry Team and make a difference by helping others, please
contact us.
Recipients are not required to join our church or denomination, and
there is never a charge for our services. This assistance is
available to anyone with cancer in the Lilburn, Lawrenceville,
Snellville, Loganville, and Grayson areas.
