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 call 309-451-5036 and follow the instructions for our Benevolence process.
Care Appointments are scheduled Monday-Thursday at varies 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.
