PASTORAL CARE
As the Cathedral family continues to grow—both numerically and spiritually—we find ourselves called to re-imagine and re-design some of our core ministries. We do this in order to meet changing needs and to adapt to changing ways of living, but most importantly we do this to continue to grow into our baptismal promises to “proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ” and to ‘seek and serve Christ in all persons,” as well as, to “respect the dignity of every human being.”

We began a process of re-imagining pastoral care with an adult forum in January 2013 in which ideas for ministries were shared. These ideas were organized and presented in the February adult forum. What follows is a listing of the specific ministries emerging from this process, all part of pastoral care at Christ Church Cathedral.

Pastoral care is intended to be shared by every member of the Cathedral family. Each of us should consider being involved in at least one of these ministries, as that is the way that we will truly love and care for each other. Each ministry will need a coordinator, who will be the contact person with the Cathedral Office as pastoral needs arise and who will be responsible for contacting members of each ministry to accomplish whatever needs to be done.

Communication concerning pastoral care needs should be directed to the Cathedral Office. From there, the appropriate coordinator(s) will be contacted. Coordinators will arrange with ministry volunteers for “hands on” care and will follow-up with the Cathedral Office about each situation.
