Care

We are committed to being a church which cares for each other. We all need God’s love and grace, because often life is tough.

Perhaps you are suffering physically, emotionally or spiritually, or you’re in a situation that you just don’t know how to cope with. Get in touch with Sally Campbell, or speak to one of the team on a Sunday.

How we support each other

Above Bar Church is full of rescued people, not perfect people. And the wonderful thing is that God hasn’t just rescued us to be individual Christians, but to belong to his community.

So we don’t just leave pastoral care to a few individuals. We care for each other, encouraging each other towards a greater dependence on God, displaying to those outside the church a love which marks us out as followers of Christ (John 13:34, 35) and welcoming others with open arms.

How the Pastoral Care team supports the church

The Pastoral Care team supports people facing hard situations and helps people build lives and relationships which honour Jesus.

They will visit people at home and in hospital and meet people for one-to-one support and mentoring. The team also organises courses for people preparing to be married, for parents and for people wanting to learn more about areas of life which are often challenging (like sexuality, mortality and medical ethics).

If you’re interested in joining the Pastoral Care team, contact Sally.

Talks and seminars

We have recordings of seminars and talks which have taken place at Above Bar Church which tackle some specific areas like sexuality, mortality, singleness and marriage, and parenting.
