Pastoral Care
Seeing lives restored and our town renewed as we grow spiritually and emotionally whole in Jesus.
We all need different levels of pastoral care as we journey through life.
To reflect this, we offer a range of support pathways to help restore lives and bring renewal.
You can access initial support at our Sunday Gatherings where we offer prayer ministry within each service. This is also a space to encounter God and join in with community as we worship together. We also encourage you to join a small group which provide a first level of pastoral support.
