Care and Well-Being

The BCC Care and Well-Being Ministry Team desires to show Jesus’ love through holistic support for our congregation’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

We work alongside the pastoral staff and liaison with existing church committees and ministries. We also offer health education classes and support groups. In the past, these classes have covered advanced directives, mental health, fitness and balance, chronic pain, aging, and dementia.

Who we are and what we do:

Our care volunteers are your BCC brothers and sisters who show the love of Jesus in practical ways, confidentially supporting those who face life’s trials.

We meet regularly to pray and plan ways to serve the needs within our congregation.

Utilizing the resources of our congregation and community, we help people navigate the hard issues they face. We are not professional counselors or personal caregivers, but are a team of healthcare professionals and lay people who come alongside with caring hearts and serving hands to provide holistic care.

For example, our volunteers have visited people in their homes, read with them, prayed together, gone on regular walks, provided transportation to medical appointments, delivered meals to those homebound, assisted with errands, and provided health-related educational experiences to the congregation, as well as maintained first aid supplies at the church.  We also help connect people with organizations that offer additional support and resources.
