SERVICES

The Caring Congregation is offering churches, districts and conferences different options to receive the specialized training to take your care ministries to a new level.  We believe that care is the heart of the church and that Jesus has called us to do healing ministries. Our goal is to help you receive training for pastors and laity that will help you create an excellent care ministry in your church and community. To that end, we have developed three different options for training. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, TCC is expanding its reach to offer safe non-contact training on the care model to anyone able to access the internet.  We welcome you to email Karen Lampe or another team member to discuss any of these options.

OPTION 3:  IN PERSON SEMINAR

The host church also receives additional consultation for three months after the seminar. Contact us for availability and pricing. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this option is currently ON HOLD.
