Abstract

To address the challenges of ministry and resource constraints, the leaders of Richmond Hill Christian Community Church (RHCCC) have taken steps to improve the execution of a holistic caring ministry by transitioning towards a collaborative and incarnational ministry of care. This study examines the approach taken by RHCCC. Strategic planning was employed. A Caring Ministry Handbook was developed to promote clarification and collaboration in ministry strategy, alignment and operation. An action research was adopted using two pilot programs, integrating pastoral care and discipleship, to address people's bio-psycho-socio-spiritual well-being. Lay Christian counselling and parish nursing were involved in the process.
