Prayer and Pastoral Care at Church of the Holy Spirit is about loving one another in the midst of life’s challenges and life’s celebrations.
Whether you’re having a baby, are sick or grieving, or experiencing any other life change, we know you need to be loved and cared for by your wider church family and the Lord.
Pastoral Care at Holy Spirit is led by our clergy but many others serve in this vital ministry as well. At Holy Spirit, Life Group members care for one another. Everyone might participate in providing meals for new parents. We have a team of encouragers who make home visits and one who writes cards of encouragement. There are plenty of ways to serve in the area of Pastoral Care. Please talk to your campus pastor to get involved.
Let us know your needs. It can often be difficult to know when someone has a pastoral need. We believe that it’s an important part of our common life together to walk with each other through these life events.
At Holy Spirit we believe that prayer is the way that we fellowship with God and also how he ministers to us, and, as a result, much of our Sunday morning worship is prayer, either through liturgy or song. As a church, we want to model, teach, equip, and bring comfort to our church body in prayer and through prayer. We believe what James 5:16 teaches which says that the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective and that when we confess and pray for one another that healing can begin. Jesus modeled for us the importance of prayer in times alone with the Father and also taught his disciples how to pray for those in need. We desire to live in this way as Jesus taught us.
