Circle of Caring: ten ministries to our church family

We want this church to be a place where people feel valued and cared for in their times of need, so our Pastoral Care Team offers the ‘Circle of Caring’.

This shows the ways in which we can provide support at different times of life’s journey. Each of the parts of the wheel is a different pastoral ministry and each one is overseen by a named person or people, who are also members of the Pastoral Care Team.

Each congregation is overseen by a Lay Pastor. These are mature members of the church family entrusted to look out for people in need.

The clergy or suitably trained lay ministers can bring the “church” in the form of Holy Communion to those who
cannot come to it, whether housebound or sick or unable to come for other reasons.
