Faith Aligned Trauma Care

And when something traumatic happens, whether at a congregational level, within your ministry team, or in your own family, it can be incredibly hard to know to how to continue showing up in a grounded, emotionally mature, relationally adept way, putting the needs of others first but still also caring for oneself. Too often, church leadership neglects themselves in their pursuit of congregational health and the effects of that can be catastrophic. We can end up putting out fire after fire while leaving no space for our own recovery. And, eventually burnout sets in and health is affected, and occasionally, ministries are walked away from.

The health of a church’s leadership team always impacts the health of the congregation which in turn affects neighborhoods, communities, and many more ripples outward. The ministry of the gospel and loving people for Jesus must begin within your team.

I specialize in caring for pastor’s wives and ministry teams, particularly when trauma threatens to destroy your congregation’s joy. Each church team is a bit different and so, let’s talk about what might be most helpful. You know your team best and I know trauma and what is needed for healing. Let’s work together to come up with a care solution that will provide your church with its best opportunity for healthy growth through stressful times.
