Caring for our body as we care for our community.
The Care & Counseling Ministry exists to help bear the burdens of sin and suffering in our body, comforting as we have been comforted, restoring as we have been restored. This ministry provides loving and competent discipleship to those struggling with sin and suffering, keeping them on the front lines of God’s mission in our community.
It is the prayer of this Ministry to play a significant role in church planting and MC multiplication by equipping lay counselors, releasing them to proactively care for and reactively counsel those in need.
To bring this vision to reality, the Care & Counseling Ministry at River City Church will offer robust training, equipping future counselors to know the gospel story, believe the gospel story, and tell the gospel story.
