One to One Care Giving Ministry

The One-to-One Care-Giving Ministry provides a biblical perspective from trained lay-people to support and extend care to those in need.

A One-to-One Care-Giver is…

• a maturing Christian who walks beside a person who is hurting…
• a lay-person who has received many hours of continuous training*…
• a person with a heart to care for, and provide emotional and spiritual support for those experiencing life’s difficulties …
• a caring Christian who listens and cares, listens and prays, listens and supports, and listens and encourages…
• someone who will “be there” for those in need, meeting faithfully, one-to-one, for about an hour each week for as long as there is a need in the care-receiver’s life.

We are here to help, give us a call at 476-7761.
