A Church That Cares

Series · 3 parts

Why pastoral care can’t rest on the pastor alone, and how a church builds a culture where members care for one another.

By Jordan Elder

  1. Part 1

    Why Pastoral Care Can’t Be Pastor-Centered

    Who really cares for the people in your church? If the answer is only the pastor, we’ve missed something about how God designed his church.

  2. Part 2

    Building a Culture of Care

    If the gospel defines why we care, sin defines why we need care. Four categories for whole-person care: worship, wounds, weakness, and warfare.

  3. Part 3

    From Concept to Culture

    Philosophy alone won’t change a culture. How we’ve built a culture of care at Redeemer through leaders, small groups, and simple systems.
