The Caring Congregation is excited to announce an upcoming National Care Ministry Webinar, taking place Feb. 21-22 from 9 AM to 4 PM CT each day. This two-day live-streamed introductory course is designed for church pastors, staff, and volunteers eager to foster a culture of care within their congregations and communities.
Care Ministry is increasingly important to the life of the local church. As society struggles with division and conflict, care ministry is one way for the local church to be a witness to the fact that God’s love is available even in the worst of times.
Led by Rev. Karen Lampe and the national team from The Caring Congregation, this comprehensive training covers essential topics including:
- Theological Foundations of Care
- Prayer and Spiritual Guidance
- Active Listening and Setting Boundaries
- Visitation and Care for the Dying
- Organizing and Leading a Care Ministry
Participants will engage in interactive sessions and have the opportunity to apply their learning through practical exercises. The course culminates in a meaningful closing worship service and commissioning.
Highlights of the Webinar Include:
- Certificate of Completion: Earn 10 contact hours in congregational care.
- 30-Day Access to Recordings: Review the course materials at your convenience.
- Follow-Up Meeting: Join a post-webinar Zoom meeting for continued discussion and support.
- Resource Materials: Participants will receive handouts and a set of digital care cards.
Registration is just $250 per person, with group discounts available for churches hosting a watch party for five or more attendees.
To register, please visit www.thecaringcongregation.com or contact Mary Haines at Mary@thecaringcongregation.com or call (913) 424-2626 for assistance or inquiries about hosting a watch party.
