Pastoral care helps with guidance, advice, support, and compassion as you to uncover principles for the future God has for you. This is accomplished through a well-experienced pastor, knowledgeable in scripture, and a believer in the transforming power of a close relationship with God. Anyone is welcome to benefit from this faith-based insight into their life.
We understand how prior experiences with religious people may leave some skeptical to exploring the principles Christianity offers. For others, there may be disagreement with many religious principles. There are also many who are more than happy and eager for God to show up more clearly in their life. However you identify, your care will be focused on how you can safely access what you need from a spiritual lens on your situation.
In pastoral care you will not be “preached” to, instead you will experience a joint effort towards your goals as a collaborative approach. Both individuals and couples will be able to identify different choices, learn different ways of looking at the same problem, and explore what relevant advice scripture offers to inform decision-making and understanding. Any religious hurt, stress, doubt, question, or curiosity can be explored in the safety of pastoral care to pursue the goal post you set.
