CARE APPOINTMENTS
We know that connecting to others for prayer and encouragement is a necessary part of our spiritual formation, especially in times of need. Care Appointments are scheduled times we have set aside to meet with you for pastoral care. We would like to hear your story, pray with you, and offer guidance on your next steps.
Care Appointments are NOT for receiving financial assistance. If you have a financial need, please fill out the application online at www.eastview.church/help.
Care Appointments are scheduled Monday-Thursday at various times during office hours. To schedule a Care Appointment select a date and time below.
The Family Room is also available on Sundays for prayer and encouragement during service times.
CARE GROUPS
Care Groups are supportive small groups that are designed to provide emotional and spiritual growth to individuals who are walking through a variety of life circumstances. Everyone has hurts or hang ups. It is in these broken times in our lives that we have the opportunity to turn to God and others for support and healing. Care Groups are communities where healing takes place. Contact: Jason Sniff 309.451.5006 or caregroups@eastview.church.
CARE PARTNERS
Everyone encounters difficulties and hardships in life, and it can be helpful to have the support and encouragement of fellow believers during these times. At Eastview we have a team of Care Partners whose passion is to come alongside others in these seasons with a listening ear and prayer support. They are not professional counselors, but they are equipped to listen, ask questions, and provide a safe and confidential space for you to consider your next steps.

COUNSELING REFERRALS
We want to help people connect to Christian Counselors when professional services are needed for healing and growth.
HOSPITAL VISITATION
We make visits to the local hospitals on Mondays-Thursdays. Please let us know you are in the hospital or indicate that you attend Eastview when you are admitted. Occasional visits are made upon request to those who are in the nursing home or confined to their homes.
Please contact our receptionist at 309.451.5000 or email receptionist@eastview.church.
FUNERALS
If you have lost a loved one and need assistance with funeral arrangements, we have funeral coordinators to help you.
HELPS MINISTRY
We depend on our small groups to help support one another and take care of one another's needs. For our church members that are not already in a small group, we can utilize our helps ministry team. This team can assist with meals, and limited transportation to our Sunday services during times of illness, hospitalization, new baby, or other life interruptions.
For more information, please contact Nicki Green at ngreen@eastview.church or 309.451.5033.
MARRIAGE MINISTRY & MENTORS
Our mission is to help married people cultivate healthy and thriving marriages. We do this through marriage events, resources and pre-martial mentoring.
