Caring
One of the key ingredients in any successful church is the quality of care it extends to its people and the surrounding community. The care the church exercises is called “pastoral,” not in the sense that it is from the pastor him/herself, but that the care has the basic qualities of love that Jesus Christ demonstrated. At Elmhurst Presbyterian Church, we have a whole church full of individuals who can provide pastoral care.
Elmhurst Presbyterian Church offers a number of Care Ministries to meet the needs of our congregation and community. Individuals may be recovering from surgery, grieving, lonely, ill, or otherwise in a time where they welcome the ministry of care from our congregation. Members support each other’s needs in a variety of ways.
Deacons
Being a Deacon is a wonderful call to service. Deacons are the “caregivers” of the congregation. In a very real way, Deacons are the hands and heart of the Church in our ministry of caring. Deacons arrange meal assistance, coordinate fellowship events for the congregation and community, and provide other services.
Every member of the congregation is a part of a parish unit served by a specific Deacon. The Deacon contacts members regularly throughout the year to promote a spirit of belonging and respond to individual needs as well as to be reminded of and invited to church activities.
