Congregational Care: The Church of the Apostles

Congregational Care: Header

Congregational Care describes what is distinctive about the church of Jesus Christ. As we grow in God's love, we learn that such love compels us to care for each other much as family members care for each other.

The purpose of Congregational Care is to extend the reach of the Rector to care for all our members as Christ would for His own, both by ministering to them and teaching them to minister to one an other. In addition to providing marriage preparation, counseling, regular visitation and instruction in the Christian walk, we also direct several specialized ministries within the church including Stephen Ministry, PrimeTimers, DivorceCare, GriefShare, and Living Waters.
