Care & Support
Whether you need guidance in your marriage, parenting, finances, or support during a season of grief, we’re here for you.
Halifax Church takes intentionally Jesus’ invitation to love our neighbours and ourselves. We believe care involves personal, communal, and pastoral responsibilities. Below is our carefully cultivated care resources to help meet the practical, personal, and spiritual needs in our city.
Personal
Resources:
• Counselling
• Retreat centres
• Spiritual direction
• Recommended reading
Our journey with God involves personal responsibility for our lives, our healing, and our health.
Communal
Resources:
• Halifax Church groups
• A care group or course
• Local resources for difficult seasons and crisis
• Food banks and other services
We need others to help us grow, heal, and flourish. Our community resources provide opportunities to get connected to others at HC and find local resources available to help with specific needs.
Pastoral
Resources:
• Inner healing prayer
• A wedding or funeral officiant
• Pre-marital counselling
• Pastoral care
There are things that happen in life that require help from someone with more training than those in your community. We have a team of individuals who are equipped to help with these situations.
