Pastoral Care. Caring Made Real.
HOSPITALIZATION AND VISITATION
Volunteers routinely visit our “shut-ins” and Dr. Tom those in local hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. We recognize the importance of bringing the presence of Jesus Christ to those unable to come to worship. Traveling communion is taken to the sick and shut-ins upon request.
BEREAVEMENT
There are few times in our lives when our faith and our need is so great. As a church we are there. With food and other examples of caring and witness to our faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and all believers.
PASTORAL COUNSELING
Dr. Tom is trained and available for premarital, marital, or other short term counseling needs. Those needing more extensive help are referred to competent Christian professionals. Dr. Tom’s training includes a variety of methodologies and alcohol rehabilitation.
