“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you
rest.”(Matthew 11:28)
Caring for one another in need or crisis is
at the heart of our Pastoral Ministry Care Process. Those who come to our
door for care deserve a high quality of pastoral care. Here we offer deep
listening, suspension of judgment and prayer. Our hope is to call
individuals in pain or transition out of isolation and into community. While
pastoral care is about sharing all of life’s transitional moments, we most
often turn to the Church for pastoral care during times of struggle.
Important to our theological perspective is the Theology of Presence. As we
walk the way with one who is in need, it is during these encounters that we
become the embodiment of Christ’s compassion. Our pastoral care rests on the
belief that there is hope for everyone, no matter what the situation may be, because of Jesus,
the Christ.
