CARE & SUPPORT

    Find care for what you are carrying.

    You do not have to face a difficult season alone.

    Whether you are grieving, caring for someone you love, seeking prayer, arranging a memorial, or simply needing someone to listen, we would be glad to help you find a thoughtful next step.

    REQUEST PRAYER
    SPEAK TO A PASTOR
    HOW CAN WE HELP?

    Start with the support you need today.

    Choose the option that comes closest to what you are facing. You do not need to explain everything perfectly, and you can share only what you are comfortable sharing.

    I would like prayer.

    Share a prayer request for yourself, someone you love, or a situation that is weighing on you.

    REQUEST PRAYER
    I need someone to talk with.

    A pastor can listen, pray with you, and help you consider an appropriate next step.

    TALK WITH A PASTOR
    I am grieving a death.

    Find support and companionship as you navigate life after the death of someone you love.

    FIND GRIEF SUPPORT
    I am planning a memorial.

    Learn what to expect when planning a memorial or funeral service at the church.

    Ask About a Memorial Service
    Let’s pray together.

    We would be honored to pray with you.

    You can request prayer for yourself, someone you love, or a situation that is weighing on you.


    You may share as much or as little as you are comfortable sharing. Prayer requests will be handled according to the sharing permission you choose.


    You do not need to be a church member, and you do not need to know exactly what to say.

    PASTORAL CARE & STEHPEN MINISTRY LEADER

    Sometimes you need someone to listen.

    You do not need to be in a crisis to speak with a pastor or a trained leader.

    Pastoral care may be helpful when you are facing grief, illness, caregiving, loneliness, family changes, questions about faith, a difficult decision, or another significant transition.


    A pastor or Stephen’s Minister can listen, pray with you, and help you consider what kind of support may be appropriate. Pastoral care is not a replacement for medical treatment, professional counseling, legal advice, or emergency assistance.

    GRIEF SUPPORT

    You do not have to grieve alone.

    Grief does not follow a tidy schedule. You may be grieving a recent death, carrying a loss from years ago, or discovering that a new season has brought the pain close again.


    GriefShare offers a welcoming place to receive practical guidance, talk honestly, and connect with others who understand that grief can be unpredictable.
