There are seasons in life where we experience illness, financial hardship, broken relationships, loss .. grief. At the Father’s House we have a dedicated team of people in our care giving ministry who are ready and prepared to walk alongside to support people.
There are times when a need takes on a more tangible look. The Benevolence Team serves partners who need emergency help. As part of our process we ask that you download this Benevolence Request Form and email to our Care Pastor at andrea@tfhny.org or fax at 889.2553.
The elders and care giving team are always ready support the bereaved through prayer, visitation and guidance.
Most of the time when we have an emotional need, we can lean on a friend, family member or small group. Other times, we need the guidance of a professional to help us through these challenging times. Although we do not offer counseling, our Care Ministry (including our Elders and pastoral team) can pray with you, offer scriptural encouragement, and refer you to Christ-centered professional counseling. Our commitment is to stand with you during your time of need.
During times of illness, surgery or recovery. Our team would love to visit you @ Hospital, Nursing Home or at home.
Getting married is one of the most important choices we make in life. More than just a beautiful wedding day … our desire is to help you establish a marriage that will endure and that you will enjoy. Our Premarital team, led by Rob & Tracey Dobbins are ready to walk beside you through this time and offer resources to prepare you for what lies ahead.
