The GCSD Heart Care Team Ministry, in collaboration with CAREForce Community-based Chaplaincy program, can meet this great pastoral need to bless your neighbor. We’ve caught a vision for helping the faith community to train, equip, empower, and release other church leaders, pastors, and Christ-followers to be trained and skilled in S.A.C.R.E.D. Care so as to reach out to those in crisis when they really need help. By training a Heart Care Team for each church, we are able to expand the pastoral reach to those in need and to help others navigate the storms of life with the “Ministry of Purpose, Presence, and Peace providing SACRED CARE.” ™
