Partners in Care (PCs) are a team of trained lay persons who volunteer to meet the care needs of our church family. They visit retirement homes, rehab centers, nursing facilities, and homes of members who can no longer attend church. They are engaged listeners and offer prayer, encouragement, support and love to those in need. PCs are also trained to administer communion and use anointing oil.
Other than quarterly supervision & education meetings, Partners in Care set their own schedule and determine how many care receivers they are in relationship with. This lay-clergy partnership is vitally important and provides another level of care to our church family.
Become a Partner in Care: Every Partner in Care must fill out an application. Then, upon acceptance, complete a 7-session training that equips them with all the tools they need to effectively serve others.
Fall 2023, training sessions will be held on Mondays from 2-3:30pm beginning Oct 2 through Nov 15. To get started, please complete an online application. For additional information, contact care@crumc.org.
