Care Ministry
Prayer, Support and Connection When You Need It Most
At St. Paul, the Care Ministry exists to live out Christ’s love by providing compassionate support to our church family and community. We believe no one should face life’s challenges alone. Our dedicated team walks alongside you with a listening ear, heartfelt prayers, and practical help—all offered with confidentiality and grace. We are called to share the love of Jesus in every season of life.
Urgent Pastoral Care & After-Hours Support
If you're experiencing an urgent need or emergency where pastoral care is needed, please call the church office at 863-644-7710 anytime. During office hours, our team will assist you directly. After hours, your call will be answered by our answering service and directed to the on-call care team member, if appropriate.
