Pastoral Care

Jesus said “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16 v33)

At LifeSwitch we know that life can be hard. We know that sometimes we all need help or just someone to walk alongside us as we go through life’s difficulties.

At LifeSwitch WE CARE ABOUT YOU!

We care about your:

• General health and well-being
• Spiritual well-being
• Family and your children
• Daily trials and stress points in life
• Longer-term life issues
• Hopes for fulfilment while attending LifeSwitch
• Questions relating to Membership

On a wider scale the LifeSwitch Care Ministry is also able to provide information or referrals about:

• Budget care – either individually or as a group course when there is demand.
• Divorce and Separation Care – this is a video-based, structured course which currently runs about twice per year at LifeSwitch.
• Marriage & Parenting – we offer courses to help you strengthen your marriage and parenting
• Counselling – giving you avenues or a list of Christian counsellors for those deeper issues you may be facing.
• Teaching – alternatives for ‘in depth’ learning
• Discipleship – either ‘one to one’ or in a small group learning situation when available
• Life groups – information on what is currently available within reach of your location during the week.

“We are His people, the sheep in His pasture” (Psalm 100 v36).

If you take the practice of the Shepherd in the Bible, you’ll find that when the sheep felt unsettled, or uncertain, they called for the shepherd to come and attend to their needs. At other times it was up to the Shepherd/Carer, of his own volition, to gently come alongside them.

At LifeSwitch it works both ways. We have a small team dedicated to providing Pastoral/Shepherding care to the people of LifeSwitch. Our desire is to “show love for others by truly helping them, and not merely talking about it” 1 John 3 v18.

This means that you should feel free to contact us at anytime. Or we may ring you to see about visiting you just to get to know you and to see if there is anything we can help you with.
