Care Ministry

Demonstrating God's compassion and love

Every day, our lives are caught in the mire of human frailty: illness, death, loss, change, sudden tragedy, prolonged issues and more. Our church family offers prayer, care, comfort, counseling and spiritual support through our Care Ministry. If you or someone you know is in need, contact us.

Upcoming Events


Congregational Care Training

Sunday, October 4 | 12:30 - 2:30 | Cafe

Do you feel called to visit the sick, encourage the discouraged, celebrate life events, and lift one another in prayer? Perhaps you have incredible administrative skills and like to help organize systems and wish to serve in that way. Consider being trained to serve Christ Church as a Congregational Care Minister (CCM).

CCM’s make hospital visits, call people in need of personal contact, deliver the sacrament of Holy Communion and serve in many other areas where they feel most gifted. Our training will cover topics such as Theology of Care, Boundaries and Ethical Practices, Listening, Hospital Visits, Grief, and Prayer.
