PASTORAL CARE AT NEC
At Nantwich Elim Church people's wellbeing is very important to us. Therefore, we have a pastoral care team made up of pastors, members of Session and volunteers, to provide help and support within the church.
Pastoral care is about the spiritual well-being of each individual. The pastoral care team is here to listen to you, talk with you, pray with you and search God's Word with you, provide comfort and encouragement and help you grow spiritually in your faith in God.
Pastoral care may be given through visits, video chats, phone calls, or any other form of communication
If you would appreciate support or help from a member of the pastoral care team, this can be organised by contacting Pastor Rachael Woolley at rachaelwoolley@nantwichelimchurch.org or by contacting us directly, during office hours: 8:00am - 4:00pm, Monday to Friday, 01270 626749. We regret that we are unable to offer 24-hour-a-day support.
If we feel there are other elements involved in what is shared, you may be referred to counselling; encouraged to join a group; or directed towards other services that are better equipped to help you.
