The Caring Congregation: How to Become One and Why it Matters

Caring for the congregation is more than any one person can do, even the pastor. All persons eventually experience grief and loss, crisis and suffering; and many come to church for the first time as aÂ result of needing help.

Using this four-session study, modeled after The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas, churches can form an effective team by addressing four key areas of congregational care: prayer ministry, support ministry, hospital visitation, and grief and death ministry.

Karen Lampe says congregational care should be modeled after the ministry of Jesus, who offered compassion, understanding, healing, and wholeness as a way of offering Godâ€™s redemptive gift of grace.Â Congregational care is one reason, according to pastors Adam Hamilton and Karen Lampe, that their churchÂ is successfulÂ in attracting and keeping new members.

In each richly illustrated session, readers will find inspiration, Bible-connection, skill building, practical tips, and resources, including: information about anointing, helpful scriptures,Â application forms, suggestedÂ requirements and application for team member,Â a volunteer leader covenant, safety and self-care contract, and aÂ counseling guide.
