Through All of Life’s Milestones & Transitions, We Care.

During major milestone moments - those full of immense joy, devastating sorrow, and everything in between -

we want to celebrate, grieve, and pray alongside you.

Our Pastors and a team of trained Care Ministers are ready to offer you prayer, guidance, and one-on-one support.

Need help & don't know where to start?

For those times you need help and care beyond what our Pastors and Care Ministers can provide, we've put together a list of professionals and resources - from substance abuse groups and individual/family counseling to LQBTQ+ resources and  support for older adults - we hope these may guide you in finding the assistance you are looking for. 

Interested in Training to Become a Care Minister?

The Care Ministry Team provides pastoral care to the congregation in the form of prayer, phone calls, hospital and home visits (when requested), life transition congratulations and condolences, baptism celebrations, meal trains, etc.  If you're interested in training to serve in this way, please reach out to Pastor Tim Ziegler.

You Don't Have to Struggle Alone

While The Gathering's Care Ministry offers, one-on-one prayer and support, Wellness guides you through life's transitions in a group setting.
