Healthcare Chaplaincy
A Pastoral Care Approach
"The prayer of faith will save the sick person... pray for one another that you may be healed." James 5:15-16

Our Approach
We assist senior communities to holistically meet the needs of geriatric residents by ministering onsite. We are deeply rooted in the Judeo-Christian faith and present a conservative, distinctively Christian message. We focus on the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ the Son of God our Savior, the redemptive significance of the cross, and the truth of His Resurrection and exalted glory at the right hand of God in heaven. Pastoral care is provided in a gentle, caring, non-sexist, and non-denominational manner.
Spiritual Care on the Healthcare Team
A Pastoral Approach
Our healthcare chaplaincy services minister to the hospitalized patient and to senior citizens residing in acute care, hospice, assisted living, personal care, memory care, and long-term care communities. We offer pastoral care, visitation, and religious education services to elderly residents, their families, and staff members. We can assist with Spiritual Care Plans, connect with home church affiliations, contribute to team or committee meetings, and engage with activity planning functions including facilitation of special programming or staff presentations. We can also provide written spiritual program reports with benchmarking capability in order to assess program effectiveness and adapt to changing needs.
Christian Worship Services
Church Comes to You!
Our Sunday worship services are designed primarily to engage the senior community residing in acute care, hospice, personal care, assisted living, memory care, or long-term care environments. We bring the familiar church experience from yesteryear back to elderly patrons who no longer can attend their home church due to illness or injury. An authentic church ambiance is created onsite in any chapel, activity room or auditorium. Our portable pulpit, church decor, bulletins in large print, classic music, familiar hymns for joyous praise, therapeutic prayers, and Christologic sermons with simple but practical applications all work together to set the tone for a down-home, country church feeling. The variety of meaningful hymns set the tone for enthusiastic sing-alongs with selections hailing from traditional, choir, contemporary, country, and a capella genres. Communion Service is available upon request. Services are open to residents from any denomination or to those without a church home. Services can be scheduled on a weekly, biweekly, monthly or as-needed basis. Holiday and veteran programs are available.
