Ministering to Churches in Need

Closure Counseling

Where does a church turn when times are ­difficult and closure seems imminent?

Churches facing the question of existence find every decision difficult. Seldom is a decision easy or even clear. Often blame becomes part of the family of man with hands folded accusations and many are looking for reasons why, rather than how God is directing them at this critical time.

When asked to help, ChurchCare will follow these guidelines:

  • Counselors will thoroughly interview the church and leadership.
  • Counselors will seek input from pastors of sister churches or fellowships in the area.
  • Counselors will evaluate information and provide recommendations to the church.
  • ChurchCare will assist in the completion of the plan of action as requested by the church.

This difficult time can be a blessing if viewed from a spiritual perspective rather than a time of defeat. The church can rejoice as they review how God blessed in the past and how He can use the assets in the future.

ChurchCare will handle the legal technicalities and care for matters that are sensitive when a church body votes to close.

ChurchCare helps churches through difficult times of closure and provides a means to preserve assets for future church-planting ministry.

The closure of one church may be the beginning of many.

The process that ChurchCare will use when asked to help during a closure can be found here.
