Pastoral Care
Harvest extends personal interaction with our caring staff and volunteers. We make regular visits to area hospitals during illness and the homes of those in need at times of bereavement and other crisis.
The ministry of pastoral care is a compassionate presence in imitation of Jesus' care of people, especially those who were hurting and in need. The ministry of Pastoral Care involves caring for families in crisis through support, counseling, and referral to appropriate community agencies; providing guidance as people face life decisions and make moral choices; and challenging systems that are obstacles to positive development.
Pastoral care is most fundamentally a relationship—a ministry of compassionate presence. This was Jesus' caring stance toward all people, especially those who were hurting or in need. Pastoral care enables healing and growth to take place within individuals and their relationships. It nurtures growth toward wholeness, and it provides guidance in decision making and challenges obstacles to positive development.
