Pastoral Care Training
Web of Care
A Lay Congregational Care Training Program — helping congregations develop intentional, accountable pastoral care for every member.
A Comprehensive Program for Congregational Care
Released in 2009, the Web of Care is a pastoral and congregational care ministry designed for laity in caring for the entire congregation. Built on the idea that relationship and trust is built from ongoing connection throughout all of our life cycle events, the focus is on building an ongoing comprehensive congregational care ministry.
"I am so grateful for the Web of Care that has allowed us to develop deeper connections with members that are often on the fringe of the congregation. In the past two years we have reconnected with nearly 80 members who were drifting away and are now re-engaging in the life of our church. Thank you!"

How It Works
Step-by-Step Congregational Care
This step-by-step process helps congregations develop a program to care for the personal, emotional, and family needs of members. Lay leaders are trained to maintain contact with the entire congregation — active members and entire families, as well as members who have drifted away, declined in participation, or have suffered illness or hospitalization.
Measuring Congregational Health
One way to measure the health of a congregation is in how members care for each other. Both the care givers and the care receivers benefit when pastoral care is provided in an intentional and accountable way. The implementation of the program requires in-person training by Eremos consultants who will provide comprehensive written materials to all participants.
