Conclusion & Sending Forth

If you are planning to start a Care Team Ministry program at your church, temple, senior residence, or other setting, you are embarking on a journey of faith and service to seniors and their family caregivers.

We have found this to be a program that facilitates the “natural helper” that resides in many people, but needs structure for action. This service orientation of others is what makes the Care Team Ministry program possible.

In giving of their time consistently and respectfully, volunteers make an immeasurable difference in the lives of their Care Receivers.
May you, and they, be blessed in these endeavors.
