Pastoral Care Teams in Churches (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781038307262)

Pastoral Care Teams in Churches is a comprehensive guide tailored for church members and leaders seeking to initiate or expand a sustainable pastoral care ministry led by laypeople. Designed to lend support to clergy, this book provides a practical blueprint for establishing and maintaining pastoral care teams over the long term.

Discover how care teams can become empathetic listeners, provide routine pastoral visits, and create a supportive environment for church members to share their difficulties. The spiritual care provided not only strengthens the faith of recipients but also enriches the lives of those offering care, nurturing a vibrant congregational life.

MacKenzie, with his broad pastoral experience, offers guidance on common spiritual care situations and provides a curated list of accessible resources, offering both theoretical insights and practical tools for community-based, non-directive care.
