Care Ministry

Providing Physical and Soul Care for Our Members

Caring for the Church

Life is often hard and at times we need a listening ear and wisdom to help as navigate the deep waters. Proverbs 20:5 says “The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.” Our Pastors, volunteer counselors, and counseling partners all believe that the Word of God is the source for truth and draw their understanding for this truth. 

Through empathy, compassion, and skillful understanding of your problem, and desire is to help you navigate and grow in Christ through whatever difficulty you may have.

August 17 | 10am – 4pm | Chapel

Trauma is a word that is used a lot these days. It’s a loaded word and one that we need to know the deeper meaning behind. To better equip our people on how to walk alongside others who have experienced trauma, we are hosting Safe Place Ministry, who will be providing 2 sessions (see below).

Helping Others Heal: Basic Trauma Informed Care (10am – Noon)

In this 3-hour training, we provide an overview of trauma, what it means to be ‘trauma-informed’, and explore ways to develop empathy for the behaviors and symptoms associated with trauma from a biblical perspective.

Sexual Trauma – Understanding Impact on Personhood (1pm – 4pm)

In this 3-hour training, we will understand how sexual abuse an egregious attack on one’s humanity and has tremendous impact on the survivor. Through the course of this training, we will delicately explore the definitions of sexual trauma, the unique impact of this abuse, the risk factors at hand, and ways to care for those having survived this evil perpetrated against them.

Transformed

Find the help you need to get out from under this burden!

  • Transformed is a highly confidential and safe support group that is devoted to providing care and guidance for men who find themselves struggling with sexual purity issues. We meet weekly for accountability, reading and discussing “Sexual Purity for Men,” by David White. We approach these issues from a biblical perspective, believing that it is God’s love for sinners that leads to our repentance.
