CARE, &
WELL-BEING
At Willesden NTCG we recognise that helping people and care is the responsibility of the whole church as encouraged in the Scriptures.
As members of this church, we commit ourselves to the spiritual nurturing, compassionate care, and the safeguarding of all who are vulnerable.
Psalms 27:17
The Church & Pastors Council (CPC) under the direction of the Pastor have set up a Pastoral Reaching Out Team. The purpose of the PRO Team is to provide pastoral care and spiritual support during the period of lock down by the Government.
If you have any questions or queries regarding the PRO Team, please contact Ms Charlotte Johnson at safeguarding@wntcg.org
Our aim is to assist people seeking help and guidance in their personal, family, marriage and life situations. Those who form our team giving pastoral care do so under the guidance of the Senior and Associate Pastors of our church.
Caring for the mature and vulnerable members
We are focusing on the more mature and vulnerable members of our Church family to ensure they are safe and secure.
We are aware that many of our brethren in addition to the ministers, CPC, heads of departments and the visiting team having been contacting brethren and visitors to offer support and good wishes – please continue to do so during this unprecedented time of global unrest.
Seeking an appointment for consultation should be made through the Administrator’s office or by speaking personally to the Senior or Associate Pastors and Pastoral Reaching Out (PRO) Team
