Care Ministries

We weren’t meant to go through life’s challenges on our own, and we want to be a community that cares for each other through the whole range of life’s experiences. Whether it’s a crisis, or working through challenging personal issues, it can be helpful to have someone there to help along the way.

Our Care Team—made up of 9 congregants and Pastor Donnell—is ready to offer support to the community through cards, phone calls, text messages, limited meal prep and delivery, and visits for those who are sick, shut-in, or homebound. Are you celebrating something special like a graduation, retirement, new job, or new baby? Feeling lonely or want to meet new people? Let us know! As a church family, we want to increase our connectedness and shared responsibility for each other through care. Please click here to access our Online Congregant Care Request Form.

On most Sundays we end the celebrations with worship and a time of prayer ministry at the front of the auditorium, during which time individuals can receive prayer from our trained team. Prayer ministry includes prayer for blessing, receiving Christ, God’s empowering presence, physical, emotional & relational healing, and freedom from spiritual oppression.

Pastoral Counseling

Sometimes problems might require the advice and counsel of a pastor. Our pastors do take counseling appointments from time to time. Our policy, however, is for pastors to refrain from long-term counseling and to limit to appointments to one or two. For care beyond this we will generally refer to one of our specific care ministries or to a professional counselor (see below). To see a pastor for counseling or referral, please email the main office at mainoffice@a2communitychurch.org.

Professional Counseling

Ann Arbor Community Church does not provide professional counseling, but does have relationship with many of the fine Christian counselors in our area. If you have no Insurance coverage you may want to contact an agency that can provide counseling on a sliding scale fee structure.
