Pastoral Care

Pastoral Care At The Redeemer

The mission of the Pastoral Care Ministry at the Church of the Redeemer is to help parishioners of all ages cope with life’s many challenges. Through the sacraments of the Church, compassionate listening, and faithful reflection, pastoral caregivers seek to empower those they serve to find comfort and hope in the face of grief, illness, and uncertainty.

“Jesus said, ‘I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

John 13:34-35

Clergy Visitation

The clergy at the Church of the Redeemer are almost always available to provide counsel and guidance in emergencies and in other circumstances. They are happy to meet you in the church offices, coffee shops, homes, hospital bedsides, or anywhere you may find yourself in need. The clergy can be reached by email or by contacting the church office.

Lay Pastoral Care Visitation

Working with the clergy, the Lay Pastoral Care Visitation Team serves Redeemer parishioners who are ill, homebound, alone, or simply in need of a compassionate visitor. It is composed of parishioners who have taken pastoral caregiving training and have discerned a call to this ministry. Some team members visit one person regularly throughout the year while others make visits on a more episodic basis. Caregivers gather in the Parish House once a month for prayer, fellowship, and theological reflection on their work.

Eucharistic Visitation

Eucharistic Visitors take consecrated bread and wine from the Sunday Eucharist to parishioners unable to attend church. Typically, each Eucharistic Visitor visits one or two homebound parishioners every four to six weeks.

“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

- I Corinthians 11:26

Lay Healing Ministry

Lay Healing Ministers are available in the chapel during the administration of Communion at the 9:30 service to offer prayers and laying on of hands to individuals and families.

“Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord."
- James 5:14

Meals Ministry

Meals Volunteers provide parishioners meals when food preparation is impossible or neglected due to medical circumstances.
