| Perhaps no other
area of our church better reflects the heart of the Good Shepherd,
Jesus Christ, than Pastoral Care. When one of his sheep is
in need, the Good Shepherd puts down all that he is doing
in the pasture and goes to the aid of that one!
Likewise, when one of our Christ Church Family members is
in need, the other members are moved to help fulfill that
need. Christ Church Pastoral Care Team goes to the ill, homebound,
hospitalized, lonely, depressed or anyone in need to give
comfort, aid, and support for the body, soul, and spirit.
The Pastoral Care Desk
is a daily clearinghouse available 24-hours for all
pastoral care information.
