Spiritual Care
Spiritual Care Ministry involves sharing God's love and grace with those in difficult situations in life and offering support and encouragement through God's word and prayer. This takes place through our Visitation Ministry, through specialized materials to support those dealing with cancer, and through support groups for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one and for those who are separated or divorced. There are many opportunities to become involved in Spiritual Care Ministry, either by serving in these ministries or receiving care yourself.

Visitation/Prayer Ministries
Visitation Ministry
When you are hospitalized, ill, recovering, grieving, or in other difficult circumstances in life, we would like to "be there" for you by sharing encouragement and God's love through a ministry of presence. If you would like a visit in any type of situation or setting, please contact Kay Christoffersen.
​
Prayer Ministry
We are here for your prayer concerns. Our prayer team supports Beautiful Savior’s ministries and people in prayer and wants to pray for you. Please share your prayer request with Kay Christoffersen at kchristoffersen@beautifulsaviorlc.org and note whether you’d like the team to hold the information privately or if you’d like the request to be shared in the church newsletter and prayers of intercession.
