WHAT IS THE CARING CONGREGATION?

OUR VISION:

Our care ministry training is based on a scalable model of care originally developed and implemented at Church of the Resurrection by Rev. Karen Lampe, and is recognized by the UMC Lay Servant Ministries as qualification for a Specialization in Congregational Care for Certified Lay Ministers. Beyond our introductory training, TCC provides personalized experiences for ongoing collaboration through cohorts, mentoring, and care resources to equip your care team.

We believe care ministry is the heart of the church and essential for the evolving Christian Community. Jesus was a healer and through His teachings and stories, He connected and cared for others. His example calls us to provide meaningful care and support through the peaks and valleys of our lives. Our team of pastors have trained hundreds of church leaders to develop thriving care ministries using a team approach that empowers pastors and laity working together to effectively support their congregations and communities.

"I've begun to enjoy this [webinar] format. In some ways, particularly if it's a large meeting, I can see and hear better and actually feel closer to the speakers."

"The speakers were engaging and encouraging, and the content was what I hoped it would be - informative, practical, and God-centered. I also liked the format with prerecorded videos and then live comments from the leaders....this was an excellent way to get our program started during the pandemic."
