The Pastoral Care ministry seeks to create a culture of care at First Presbyterian. We have many needs to choose from. Here are some ways to get involved.
BeFriender ministry is a listening presence to anyone experiencing grief, loss, transition or other concerns for people in all kinds of life stages and transitions. Everyone is, at times, on a difficult journey and needs a caring companion who will listen, empathize, and be a reminder of a caring, faith community. Contact Gloria King, 478-4709 or gking@fpcgreensboro.org, for more information.
These volunteers remember the bereaved in thoughts and prayers through notes of condolence. Contact Gloria King to learn more.
When the circle in informed about a death in a member’s family, volunteers visit the home to offer practical assistance, from sitting at the home while the family is attending the funeral service to providing a meal. Contact Gloria King to learn more.
First Friends are trained lay members from the congregation who provide a meaningful presence in the lives of members who have suffered a loss, are ill or having another appropriate need for assistance. First Friends training is offered every other year. Confidentiality is the key to this ministry.

Each Sunday morning, church members can drive to the Greene Street sanctuary entrance and allow a volunteer to park their car. After the service, volunteers return cars to the entrance.

This group is devoted to helping those in crisis through quiet, individual prayer. New names are given to the members of the team each week. All names are kept in confidence. Contact Gloria King to learn more.
