Care Team

First Congregational Church’s Care Team is made up of church members who have been trained to work with people who are experiencing stresses in life. The Care Team works in conjunction with the Pastor. 

It is an impossible task for any Pastor to provide care to an entire congregation of people without the help of others in the church community. It is integral to FCC’s community that we care for one another. Situations that may cause stress and caring would be beneficial include:

• Death of a loved one

• Illness, injury or health issues

• Divorce

• "Empty-nesters"

• Spouse/caregiver for a chronically ill person or person with infirmities of aging

• New parents

• Single parent

• Some who is unemployed or under-employed

• Recent relocation

• Multiple life challenges that deplete one's energy

Members of the Care Team will help to find people in the congregation that may do things like:

• Visit periodically

• Call on the telephone

• Make meals

• Provide transportation to church or medical appointments

• Make a referral to the Prayer Circle for the person/situation

For more information about making a referral to our Care Team, contact Pastor Julie Eklund or the church office by calling 920-231-7520.
