PASTORAL CARE

Pastoral care is the way in which we care for one another and, just as important, we care for ourselves.

At Saltash Baptist Church we encourage people to pastorally care for one another and pastorally care for themselves. This means being in groups or creating friendships that look out for one another as well as recognising that sometimes we need to go to people for help.

Your first port of call is to speak to those people that you feel supported by; a group leader or a group you are supported by in the church.

Secondly the church has set aside the following people to be a listening ear and to pray and respond to any needs that there might be.

            The minister oversees all of this, but we recognise that they cannot be there for every need and at every moment. Also, we recognise that in times of holiday, illness or that when the minister leaves the whole system cannot fall down because one person is not there.

            We each also need to take seriously that we have a voice, the voice needs to speak out or reach out when we need help, and not just to moan that the church were unable to read your mind that you needed help, this is everyone’s responsibility.

            We hope and pray that the Church is a place where we can all feel loved and supported, but we all need to play our part for this to happen.
