Getting to Know You
When to call your Pastor…
The calling to be a pastor involves “wearing many different hats”. One important role is to provide pastoral care and spiritual support, to assist people in connecting with God and the resources of Christian faith in daily life. Here are some suggested times when it would be appropriate to contact your pastor for care or support:
You have an illness or death in the family
You are facing a serious family or personal problem
You are seriously ill or hospitalized for more than a day
You would like prayer or conversation prior to a medical procedure
You have been discharged from the hospital
You are thinking about getting married
You are planning a wedding
You are thinking about divorce
You need to make an important decision
You need to talk with someone in confidence
You have an issue that is troubling your conscience
You are facing a spiritual struggle
You are celebrating the birth of a child
You have questions about the church, baptism, communion, faith, the Bible, or prayer
You would like assistance in thinking through a moral or theological issue
You are seeking to deepen your spirituality
