At LWBC, we believe that every person matters and deserves to be cared for in times of need. Our Pastoral Care ministry is dedicated to providing compassionate support, guidance, and prayer for individuals and families facing various life challenges. We understand that life can be overwhelming at times, and we are committed to walking alongside you, offering a listening ear, wise counsel, and the comfort of God’s love.
Caring for Individuals and Families
Our Pastoral Care team is here to support individuals and families in times of crisis, loss, or transition. Whether you’re facing a difficult decision, coping with grief, dealing with relational issues, or experiencing a life transition, we offer a caring and non-judgmental space to share your burdens and seek guidance. Our pastoral care providers are compassionate listeners who offer emotional support, practical assistance, and prayerful encouragement.
Confidentiality and Privacy
We understand the sensitive nature of personal struggles and challenges. Rest assured that all conversations with our pastoral care providers are treated with the utmost confidentiality and privacy. We are committed to creating a safe environment where you can openly share your concerns and experiences without fear of judgment or disclosure. Your trust and well-being are of utmost importance to us.
Prayer Support
Prayer is a powerful tool for finding comfort, strength, and guidance in times of need. Our pastoral care team is dedicated to lifting you up in prayer. Whether you’re facing physical illness, emotional distress, spiritual uncertainty, or any other difficulty, our team will intercede on your behalf. We believe in the power of prayer to bring about healing, peace, and transformation.
Hospital and Home Visits
During times of illness, hospitalization, or limited mobility, our pastoral care team is available to visit you or your loved ones. We understand the importance of human connection and the comfort that can be found in the presence of a caring individual. Our team will provide emotional support, offer prayer, and seek to meet any specific needs you may have. If you or someone you know would benefit from a visit, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Support Groups
Sometimes, it can be helpful to connect with others who are going through similar challenges. We offer support groups where individuals can find understanding, encouragement, and shared wisdom in a safe and supportive environment. These groups cover a range of topics such as grief, divorce recovery, addiction support, mental health, and more. Participating in a support group can provide valuable insights, resources, and a sense of community.
Referrals and Resources
Our pastoral care team is well-connected within the community and can provide referrals to professional counsellors, therapists, or other support services, if needed. We maintain a network of trusted professionals who specialize in various areas of counselling and mental health support. Additionally, we can provide resources such as books, articles, and workshops to help you navigate specific challenges and find additional support outside of our ministry.
