Pastoral Care

Life can bring different challenges our way in the form of health issues, relationship breakdowns, grief and loss, loneliness, employment changes, to name but a few. Here at Brave Church we have a pastoral care team who are available to listen. We provide emotional and spiritual support to people going through a crisis or a difficult time in life. Whatever you are personally facing, we want you to know that we care about you and that you are not alone in your situation. We are here to support you in whatever way we can and would encourage you to fill in the form below so we can connect you with one of our team who will be able to talk and pray with you.
