Pastoral Care
At Ebe Church, a vital part of our vision, is to be committed to supporting our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
We believe that Jesus loves us in our brokenness, and at the same time wants to bring healing and wholeness to all the different areas of our lives.
We want to create a culture within Ebe; in our relationships, and in our communities, that it really is OK to not be OK. At the same time, we want to have good processes in place for care and support, provide different ways for people to connect with each other and build relationships, and create spaces and offer signposting for specific support and care.
We see lots of overlap in how we look to care for each other across many different parts of church life.
WELCOME!!
If you come along to Ebe, to anything we run from our building, and decide you’d like to connect further, fill out a ‘Connect Card’ and we’ll send you our weekly email update with what’s happening in church, our communities and our city, and how you can get involved. We also have regular ‘Connect Sundays’ where we get together for lunch after our Sunday service – a great way to get to know other people and hear a bit more about Ebe.
JOIN A SMALL GROUP
We love our Small Groups! They are a great place to ‘do life’ with a smaller number of people. They are a place of love and support. We see our small groups as a first line of support when it comes to pastoral care.
JOIN A TEAM
A great way to get connected in church and get to know other people is by serving on Sundays and/or during the week. Check out our ‘Serve’ page for more detail!
PRAYER
Praying together is so important as we share life with each other. This can happen in many different ways, and in lots of different places. We pray when we gather on a Sunday, in our small groups, and at specific times throughout the month. Prayer is a vital expression of our care and support for each other.

CHURCH LEADERSHIP TEAM
Sometimes it may be appropriate for the Church Leadership Team to provide direct pastoral care. Some matters might benefit from specific experience and leadership support. Alternatively, we may refer people to support with organisations that have relevant expertise.
We want to be a church that supports and cares for each other well, and we believe that we do this better together.
If you need help, and are not sure where to find support, please get in touch.
