The Shepherding Ministry seeks to help this need. Each flock consists of six to twelve family units. A Shepherd is assigned to each neighborhood flock. The Shepherds are people within the congregation that have agreed to serve in this Ministry. They are willing to be the leaning posts and listening ears for the church family. .
Shepherds contact the members of their flocks several times a year to see how they are doing.
This is done through visitations in their homes, sending greeting cards, such as, for birthdays, anniversaries, or get-well cards. This Ministry gives each person within the church some one they can talk to, whom they can share a joy that they have, or find help if there is a need. They can expect their discussions with the Shepherds to be held confidential unless they desire the information to be communicated to the Pastor for further assistance.
