Exercising a broad ministry for people of all faiths and none, Pastoral Care Coordinators deliver acts of worship and provide comfort and support when times are challenging, as well as creating opportunities to celebrate life in all its fullness through festivals and other special occasions.
Key responsibilities include 'bringing church' to those who can no longer access their faith community in the wider community by leading Christian acts of service each week, offering pastoral care to residents of all faiths and none, and being a champion within the Circle of Care for Spiritual support across the village.
