While many churches may only have
the pastor or minister doing the pastoral care we believe that this can
best be done by the leaders of the homegroups.
The homegroups are in the process of being restructured
as the church enters into a new and exciting phase of its development.
We now meet in three groups (which will beome more as the church grows
in numbers), we are following the Celebrate Recovery program to gain healing
for ourselves and to train for using the tool to minister outside the
church in the autumn of this year. The pastoral care team which includes
the pastor, elder and deaconate (operations team), are actively involved
as sponsors/accountability partners for those dealing with issues raised
during the program.
Pastoral visits can be performed by any of the leadership
team. If you have need of a pastoral visit or are aware of the need of
a pastoral visit please telephone 01736 365982.
The elders are actively involved in the homegroups
and provide support and guidance to the homegroup leader on pastoral issues.
