CARE
We believe the first, fastest, and most consistent kind of care comes through the faithful presence of other Christians—people who know us, listen to us, pray with us, and walk alongside us through both ordinary life and difficult seasons. Our Communities are the primary place where this relational and prayerful care takes root. Sometimes, however, a situation calls for more focused support. Adoration offers several additional pathways of Care:
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is focused spiritual support for those navigating grief, illness, difficult decisions, spiritual questions, or other challenging seasons. The Rector or another trained pastoral leader will listen, pray, offer spiritual guidance, and help discern appropriate next steps. To set up a meeting, ask below about Fr. Nick’s office hours or reach out to Michele Holding via email.
Spiritual Direction
In spiritual direction, two persons pledge to listen together for God’s voice in one of their lives. Spiritual directors are trained and practiced in recognizing and reflecting the presence and work of God. People come for Spiritual Direction to: seek God in the complexities of life; when they find the “old ways” of faith are no longer working; to grow in self and God awareness; looking for a safe and confidential place to process life and decisions; wanting to heal their image of God and self.
Healing Prayer Ministry
