St Mark's Pastoral Care

We aim to reflect God’s heart across our community, to bring wholeness and healing to individuals and relationships as we seek to bring God’s kingdom on earth. We all may need pastoral support in different seasons of life. We have a number of pathways to support this

Prayer

You can access prayer ministry at the end of each service. You can also send us a specific prayer request

Connect

We encourage anyone part of our church family to find transformation, discipleship, and growth in a small group which provide a first level of pastoral support.

Small Groups

Further Support

Alongside small groups, the church has a Pastoral Care Team of mature Christians who offer support and encouragement to those facing challenges or needing additional care.While they are not trained counsellors, team members are experienced in listening, offering practical and spiritual support, and praying with individuals. They will typically meet with someone for a few sessions, providing care and helping discern appropriate next steps. Where needed, they may also recommend or refer individuals to specialist or professional support.

Support May Include

If you, or someone you know, would value being able to speak to someone about the things you are dealing with we have a team trained in listening, prayer, and pastoral support.

If you, or someone you know, is unable to attend worship services at church we have a team trained to take holy communion to those who are housebound, in hospital, or otherwise incapacitated.

If you, or someone you know, has experienced a bereavement we have a team available to support you in your loss. We run The Bereavement Journey and offer a drop in Bereavement Cafe once a month on a Friday.

If you, or someone you know, is in a time of crisis, perhaps after being in hospital or during illness, we may be able to provide meals to help out.
