Introduction to The Church Cares

How The Church Cares Works 

The Church Cares is a peer helping ministry that trains your biggest volunteer force—your church members—to listen, pray, and offer support to those with personal struggles and emotional needs. 

 

When people are in distress, they want to go to church. The Church Cares offers a way to help them, serve them, and invite them in. It’s an evangelism, discipleship, and church growth approach, all wrapped into one. 

 

More than that, it helps people like Jesus helped people. Compassionately. Intentionally. And Biblically.
