- Abstract
- This project is designed to provide a basis of understanding of how pastoral care, demonstrated by the elders, pastors, and deacons, benefits individuals in their spiritual life, as well as strengthens and revitalizes the church.Chapter One presents an historical study of the ministry of the elders, pastors and deacons during the time of John Calvin in the city of Geneva, Switzerland.Chapter Two looks to the New Testament to understand what the Word of God teaches in regard to the offices of the elder, pastor, and deacon. Chapter Three presents a contemporary study of the pastoral care that has been demonstrated in the Classis of Pleasant Prairie over the past 50 -- 60 years.Chapter Four brings together the three previous chapters with additional support for the importance of pastoral care by the elders, pastors, and deacons.This project identifies pastoral care as an important aspect of the ministry of the Reformation. This pastoral care has a scriptural basis for it. The study challenges the church of today to be more intentional in evaluating how it is carrying out this ministry and to understand the significance that this ministry has to the spiritual health of individuals and to the overall health of the church.
