Pastoral Ministries is a program designed to provide caring and support during times of health concerns, loss, celebration, and other needs. Our focus will be on the promotion of optimal well being and prevention of disease. This program is made up of three subcommittees:

  1. The Caring Network
  2. Pastoral Care Visitors
  3. Health Ministries

Purpose

  • To promote a physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy Congregation.
  • To support a sense of community and connection

The three subcommittees provide a continuum of care to people depending upon their situation. The level of training and expertise of the people who participate in each subcommittee increases along the continuum:
  1. Caring Network, 2. Pastoral Care Visitors, 3. Health Ministries.
