Finding Care

PASTORAL STAFF
Our pastors provide care for you by leading in meaningful and relevant
worship.  But their care goes far beyond that.  They are available to
pray, counsel, and help you discover God’s will for your life in times of
growth and in times of challenge.  They humbly continue the healing
ministry of Christ for mind, body, and spirit.


STEPHEN MINISTRY
The Stephen Ministers are people of the church who have been trained and
are supervised to do one-on-one caring when you are experiencing difficult
times, or when you need a person who can listen.  Their ministry is
described as “people through whom Jesus loves people.”  These are people
who are available to meet with you on a weekly basis to listen in love and
confidentiality, and to support you as you listen for God’s will in your
life.  To find out more about receiving a Stephen Minister, or about
becoming one, contact the church office.


HOSPITAL VISITATION
From the birth of a new baby to a critical illness (and everything in
between), a visit from someone who cares for you can bring great comfort
when you are in the hospital.  Please let us know if you have a planned
surgery, and call the office as soon as possible if a loved one has an
unexpected hospitalization.   Prayer prior to surgery is provided by our
pastors and/or trained lay members.
