Ministry of Presence

The most important aspect of pastoral care is the ministry of presence -- just being present with a person not necessarily doing or saying anything. You may find yourself in need of a spiritual friend -- a person who could walk alongside you during a difficult time. CARE Ministers are people who have been through training to be present and listen well; they pray with you and offer encouragement from God's Word.
