Care & Support
You are not alone
At Basehor UMC, our Caring Ministries remind every person that they are loved and supported. Through our Congregational Care Team, trained Care Team Ministers, and Prayer Chain, we offer prayer, visits, encouragement, and practical help during times of illness, loss, transition, or need. We believe caring for one another is central to our faith, and we’re here to walk with you through every season of life.
Support We Provide
Congregational Care Team
Our Congregational Care Team coordinates care for members and friends of the church during times of illness, loss, transition, or difficulty. This team helps connect people with the support they need and ensures no one is forgotten.
Prayer Chain
Our Prayer Chain is a dedicated group committed to lifting up needs in prayer. Requests can be shared confidentially, and our prayer team prays faithfully for each concern.
Pastoral Care
Our pastor is available for spiritual support, prayer, and conversation during times of crisis, transition, grief, or discernment. Pastoral care can be scheduled by contacting the church office.
