Congregational Care of Overland Park
Prayer Team
Welcome to the Congregational Care page of Quivira Heights Church of Christ, where we prioritize the well-being and support of our congregation and the wider Overland Park community. Our community-oriented faith-based initiatives and programs aim to help individuals flourish spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
The Importance of Congregational Care
Congregational care is an essential aspect of our church's mission. We believe that caring for the congregants and the community at large is a demonstration of our faith and a way to create a strong and supportive spiritual family. Our holistic approach to congregational care encompasses various dimensions of well-being, including spiritual guidance, emotional support, social connection, and practical assistance.
Our Community-Focused Initiatives
At Quivira Heights Church of Christ, we have developed a range of initiatives designed to cater to the diverse needs of our congregation and foster a strong sense of community. Our programs and services include:
- Care and Support Groups: We offer a variety of support groups that address specific needs such as grief, addiction recovery, mental health, and other life challenges. These groups provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals to receive support and encouragement while fostering connections with others facing similar circumstances.
- Prayer Ministry: Our dedicated team of prayer warriors is committed to interceding on behalf of the congregation and the community. We believe in the power of prayer to bring comfort, healing, and strength to those in need. Whether you're seeking prayer for personal concerns or the well-being of others, our prayer ministry is here to support you.
- Visitation Program: We recognize the importance of personal connection and human touch. Our visitation program ensures that individuals who are homebound, hospitalized, or experiencing other challenging circumstances receive spiritual and emotional support through regular visits from caring volunteers. We believe in the power of presence to uplift and bring hope to those who may feel isolated.
- Community Outreach: We are actively engaged in serving and supporting our local community. Through partnerships with local organizations, we organize events, initiatives, and projects aimed at addressing issues such as poverty, hunger, and social injustice. Our community outreach activities provide opportunities for our congregation to make a positive impact and support those in need.
Support Services
In addition to our community-focused initiatives, we offer a range of support services to address the various needs of individuals within our congregation:
- Pastoral Counseling: Our experienced and compassionate pastors provide confidential counseling sessions for those facing personal challenges, grief, or seeking guidance on spiritual matters. Our pastoral counseling services offer a supportive and non-judgmental environment for individuals to explore their concerns and find solace.
- Practical Assistance: We believe in the importance of meeting practical needs alongside emotional and spiritual support. Our church provides various forms of practical assistance, including food pantry services, financial resources, and referrals to local organizations that can provide further assistance. We strive to offer comprehensive support to those facing challenging circumstances.
- Senior Care: Caring for our senior members is a priority at Quivira Heights Church of Christ. We offer specialized programs and services tailored to the needs and interests of seniors, including social events, educational seminars, and support groups. Our goal is to create a supportive and vibrant community for our cherished seniors.
- Youth and Family Support: We believe in investing in the future generations and nurturing strong family units. Our youth and family support programs consist of mentorship opportunities, educational resources, counseling services, and engaging activities that promote healthy family dynamics and equip young individuals to navigate life's challenges.
