Pastoral Care
Beyond Prayer
What can you expect from Pastoral Care Beyond Prayer?
We believe that church leaders should be well informed on how they can support those that are approaching end-of-life and their families. Prayer is always a must. In addition to prayer, church leaders can be a part of helping the individual experience dying with dignity.
You can expect us to inform you and educate you on how your church can give holistic support to the dying and their families. We will make sure you and your leaders have the tools you will need to comfortably help your congregation get their end-of-life affairs in order. Jesus set an example by preparing his disciples for his end-of-life. God's word tells us about being a good steward. Let's be good stewards of our lives and those we minister to and help them get their end-of-life affairs in order. Set an example by getting your own end-of-life affairs in order.
As a pastor, we know you give support to your congregation by helping families begin (premarital counseling), baby baptisms, family spiritual growth, and funeral preparation. What about those needing support that are going through the dying process? Pastoral Care Beyond Prayer is here to give you the support and guidance you need to take your congregation from the cradle to the grave.

“The education, resources, experiences, and shared expertise from this course has positioned me to create a foundation to assist, comfort, create and support my EOL patients and families.
My focused vision is to provide my patients with the peace of dying in salvation and unfinished affairs accomplished including paperwork and individual relationships and to create environments that patients and family members are able to be at ease in.
I am grateful for TX Doula Movement for this opportunity for learning.
Blessings in all endeavors!”
