Overview
Congregational Care is provided by a Director of Congregational Care and a Care Team of people from Save The Nations, pastors of the church are involved in the more urgent cases. Our care includes hospital visitations, biblical guidance (spiritual direction), performing weddings, funerals, and benevolence. Offering care to members and friends of our congregation is a team effort. All Christians are called to share in caring ministries both within the congregation and in the larger community.
If you want to explore participating in the caring ministries of this congregation, or if you have a pastoral need that is not addressed, please contact the church office at 954-358-1262.
You may also email Rev. Edna Quiros if you are interested in the Soul Care Giver classes she teaches throughout the year in the STN School of Ministry & Leadership. If you are a leader of any ministry it is recommended that you take the training. When there is any emergency… If there is an urgent need please contact our Director of Congregational Care, Rev. Edna Quiros on her cell 305-318-3592 for immediate notification or email her at equiros@savethenations.com When there is an illness… In addition to the care our members provide each other, our congregational care team want to be present as needed when there is a serious illness. Please notify the office at 954-358-1262 when there is an illness that requires our response. (Hospitals do not inform us when someone is admitted.) When there is a death… Family members should call the church immediately when a death occurs. If the church office is closed, call one of the pastors immediately. Pastors will quickly visit the hospital, home or funeral home as needed, offer pastoral support, and work with the family to plan for an appropriate service of worship. When you have a prayer request… Prayer requests can be made through the bulletin insert during Sunday worship, via a website link here or by phone. For those marked “pastors only,” these concerns are offered up in prayer at the church’s pastoral team meeting. When someone is homebound or in a nursing home or other care facility… Rev. Edna Quiros and her team of caregivers will visit persons who are elderly, homebound, or in a care facility. In addition, lay volunteers and chaplains visit the homebound and those in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. While our pastors are available to visit homebound persons and nursing home residents, due to our extensive schedules, we may suggest those who can benefit from more frequent contacts be assigned to one of our Congregational Care Givers. Holy Communion will be brought to those unable to receive the sacrament in the congregation if requested. When someone needs biblical guidance, spiritual direction or a listening ear… Our pastors are happy to meet with anyone needing biblical guidance, spiritual direction or support in times of trouble. Those requiring ongoing counseling may be referred to qualified professionals. For some needs, we may suggest meeting with our in-house trained Spiritual Director, Rev. Edna Quiros. For “pre”-martial counseling, our Celebrate Couples Leaders provide extensive classes as needed. For Marriage Counseling, please contact Pastor Liz Rios. When a child has special needs… Our church welcomes all children into the life of the congregation. Please let us know how we can help your child feel comfortable in our services.
