PASTORAL CARE MINISTRY
This ministry is unique to the
many other ministries we have here at Spring Baptist.
The reason is that it touches ALL ages, ministries, genders, etc.
We do our best to keep up with the hospital visitation.
Nowadays pastors cannot do it all.
So we rely on volunteers to help visit the ill and bed ridden as
well as ministering to the widows and widowers. We work with the
bereaved. We assist the families
with funeral plans.
We oversee the Prayer ministry
of SBC which is Living In Faith Everyday (LIFE).
This ministry covers every member, every ministry, every age
group, every minister, and missions,
both at home and abroad. It is all
inclusive and any member can participate whether young or old.
Our Church Library is a blessing
to all. We have books and videos
for the very young and for those more mature in the Lord. It is an
adventure to see what our Librarians have done in the area of
children’s books, devotional reading and one of the largest Biblical
reference libraries anywhere. Take
a moment and visit. Pick out a
book and join us.
The Pastoral Care Ministry is
also responsible for counseling. All
ministers here at SBC do one form of counseling or another.
But the Pastoral Care Ministry does Biblical based pastoral
counseling, marriage counseling, pre-marital counseling and just about
any issue that we face as Christians. We help support a local
Pregnancy
Assistance
Center
.
The Pastoral Care Ministry
oversees the Benevolence Ministry of SBC.
We are a very giving church and this manifests itself by our
helping those less fortunate, be they members or non members.
The
Pastoral Care Ministry also is the contact person for mission support
and work both at home and around the world.
We work with mission education.
Here at SBC we only take one mission offering a year (Oct.
through Dec.) and that is divided between the International Mission
Board, the North American Mission Board, SBTC Missions and our own local
Mission Discretionary Fund.
