As one of the First Parish Ministry Council Teams, the Pastoral Care Team is a group of members with experience in providing support and guidance to people in need of someone to listen to them without judgement. We are available for members who are experiencing emotional needs, spiritual needs, loneliness and isolation, the difficulties of physical challenges and illness, family challenges, and those who need help securing community support services.
We all can feel alone, bewildered, and overwhelmed by challenges in our lives. The Pastoral Care Team offers a safe and confidential approach of care and listening to help navigate these challenges. Where specific counseling or intervention is needed, we can refer members to resources in the community for assistance.
To contact the Pastoral Care Team with a need or concern, please email the office at office@firstparishportland.org or call (207) 773-5747.
