Pastoral Care Ministry
What is Pastoral Care Ministry?
The Pastoral Care Ministry offers a number of courses, as well as ongoing support groups, where we dig deep into the difficult and seldom discussed areas of life.
Our aim is to take you on a journey towards healing and restoration through groups are facilitated by people who have walked these journeys themselves.

This course is intended to help individuals who are struggling with pornography. It is not a destination but rather seeks to be part of the journey that has lifelong victory over pornography as its ultimate objective. It will be an opportunity for individuals to share their story and to hear those of others in a space and a process that is safe and welcoming.
This course is for people who are divorced, separated, hoping for reconciliation, or convinced their marriage is over. We hope to provide comfort, hope, healing, encouragement, empathy and understanding.
