At Southwood, we believe that caring for others is just one of the ways we are called to live in response to the grace and love of God. Our team includes pastors, Care Ministry staff, and many volunteers. We extend care to others through prayer, visits, support groups and other resources. We are here to support you in daily living or moments of crisis.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
Prayer is the foundation of all that we do. Pastors, staff and Prayer Team members pray daily for the needs and requests of our church family.
Care Ministry staff and Care Team members are available to visit you or a family member who is having surgery, is hospitalized, or is homebound and feeling isolated.
Please make us aware of your request with the request form or by calling the church office and requesting to speak to a Care staff member.
Grief support groups are offered periodically for an 8-week session. These groups are for those who have experienced the death of someone significant and provide an opportunity to share, support and begin healing.
Join with others who share in the process of rebuilding their lives after a separation or divorce. Participants grow emotionally and spiritually through this group.
Care Ministry has many ways that you can help support others. Joining the prayer team, visiting members unable to attend church, or helping at a funeral lunch are just a few examples.
Planning a service can be a blessing to those in grief. It is a time to laugh and cry as stories are shared. Pre-planning a service is also an option.
