Abstract

This project addressed the problem that exists for a Pastoral Care Department in a large church (over 4,000 attenders) to care for the needs of that congregation. The researcher studied the biblical and theological natures of care and community and their interconnectedness to each other. He used qualitative research to conduct case studies of Ada Bible Church and North Point Community Church to identify transferable principles. The researcher then developed an implementable strategy at Calvary Church, including structures, training, communication and record-keeping for the purpose of using small groups to facilitate care.
