The Congregational Care Team at The Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, KS invites pastors, staff and volunteers to attend an important training event being held April 7th – 9th, 2016. The Congregational Care Ministry Seminar is designed to train volunteers to become partners in ministry with pastors and staff to provide care for a congregation.

Several years ago Church of the Resurrection developed a program transforming the way care is provided for the congregation. Volunteers are equipped to be Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs) and are deployed to work alongside pastors and staff to minister to and holistically care for the congregation. This partnership between lay and clergy has enabled the church to provide a more consistent and deeper level of care to the church family.

Topics to be covered include: Prayer, Theology of Care, Boundaries, Listening, Visitation, Death and Grief and Organization. With this training, volunteers will be empowered to make hospital visits, telephone persons in need of contact, meet one-on-one with persons in need of a listening ear, offer support to grieving families and proactively seek to encourage and care for persons in need.

Register today for the best rates. Super Early Bird pricing for $140 is available through February 3rd.
