Professional Counseling

We know that there are times when a Christian Counselor would benefit you. We draw upon a range of therapists with different areas of specialty. We see the value of psychology and theology woven together, and we can help you in the referral process.

Stephen Ministry

Stephen is a ministry of one-to-one caregiving. This ministry provides one-to-one prayer support and encouragement during a time of crisis, such as grief, loss, divorce, or hospitalization. Stephen Ministry is gender-specific only ( a man will come alongside another man or a woman alongside a woman).

Please contact Matt Knapp, Care Ministries Pastor.

Financial Help

We have financial counselors who are available to provide assessment and support to families, couples, and individuals at Constance. Our Benevolence Fund can also provide one-time financial help to those in our church that are facing a financial crisis or difficulty. Please contact Matt Knapp, Care Ministries Pastor.

Weddings

Congratulations! If you are planning on getting married, we rejoice with you as you look forward to this momentous day, and hope this season of preparation is a rich experience. Please contact Megan Blakley, Care Ministries Coordinator, with wedding-related questions or for more information on our premarital process. Please contact Matt Knapp, Care Ministries Pastor.

Prayer Ministry

We know prayer is a powerful tool we've been given as God invites us to lift up each other's needs to Him. Each week as staff, we gather to pray over the requests that you have submitted.

Request Prayer

Elder Prayer

According to James 5, in our time of need, we ought to call upon the Elders of the church for prayer. Elders are available to pray for you before or after worship services or another time that's convenient for you.

Online Prayer

Our Prayer Team is available to confidentially pray for you and your concerns.

Prayer Partners

We believe that modeling faith in intergenerational relationships can provide a firm foundation in helping students develop a faith that sticks into adulthood. Our Prayer Partners Ministry pairs a praying adult with a student age 10-20 to meet occasionally for prayer.

Group Care

Multiple times throughout the year we offer a variety of workshops that may be helpful for you. We also offer support groups described below. Upcoming events and groups will be promoted on our Events Page before each starting date. 

Grief Share

If you have experienced loss, Grief Share can provide a small group experience for you to find support and encouragement. Grief Share looks at the different stages of loss, how the soul changes through the death of a loved one, and the practical matters of life without that person.

Divorce Care

Divorce Care is a small group experience for those who are going through or are healing from a divorce. This video-based format features real-life stories of people who have been through a divorce. An experienced leader facilitates discussion questions and support conversations.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)

Only you can decide whether you want to give AA a try. Those who are in AA come because they finally gave up trying to control their drinking. Attendees are quick to find out that many people suffer from the same feelings of guilt, loneliness, and hopelessness. AA meets on Monday evenings at Constance year-round. You can show up anytime.
