The Mission of the Pastoral Care Team, under the direction of the Minister, is to:
Recruit and coordinate volunteers from the entire church community to provide short-term, confidential help to our members and friends in need.
Maintain caring contact with our respected elders and those experiencing more long-term challenges.
Care for one another, especially during difficult times, which is an important aspect of our church community.
The Pastoral Care Team is available to anyone who may feel disconnected for any reason or who may have experienced a challenge that requires the help of others. Our emphasis is on temporary, short-term care such as providing meals, occasional rides, or simply lending a supportive ear. We may also be able to put you in touch with others who can provide additional help or more long-term assistance.
If you are experiencing a need that could benefit from Pastoral Care services, would like to be connected to one of the Caring Circles facilitators or would prefer a more intimate connection with a Caring Hearts member, please contact us at (559) 322-6146 Ext. 16.
