At FAC we are committed to caring for the whole person; their spiritual, emotional and physical needs. A dedicated team of workers heads up our Pastoral Care Ministry who prayerfully seek ways to see everyone at FAC genuinely loved, cared for and supported. Confidentiality is assured, along with a listening ear, respect, love and patience.

The team are greatly encouraged to see how God uses them to minister in a whole range of ways, however we encourage everyone to also be connected into our Fuel, where a sense of belonging is fostered and developed. Life Groups are also a place where the majority of personal support and encouragement is given and received.

Care by praying ....

For encouragement, comfort or direction, the Pastoral Care team offer a confidential ear and prayer support. Where professional counselling is required, the team are able to refer you to suitable organisations for specialised care. 

Care in times of need ....

There are times in life when a few prepared meals or other forms of practical help can be great blessing. Help and support is available for those who have been sick, in hospital, had a baby or are in need of additional assistance for a range of reasons.

Care by going ....

Wonderful teams of volunteers visit patients in Figtree Private Hopital and some of the Nursing homes close to FAC. Serving in this way provides encouragement and support to the sick and aged in our community, being Jesus to them in very practical but simple ways. Each visit is a wonderful time to share in their lives; to take time to pray for them, especially those where the visit and connection has continued over a period of time.

There have been many opportunities to share the Gospel message; many stories of friends or relatives of the sick being touched through the ministry and many nurses and staff who have also been comforted or assisted through this ministry.

Care by being involved ....

If you believe you are gifted in pastoral care, why not consider joining one of our teams; prayer, hospital or nursing home visitation. For more information, contact Fay at the church office during business hours on 4272 1322 (Tue & Wed) or email Fay Brampton.
