Pastoral Care
Pastoral care at Bridgeway is predominately a function of our community groups by those who know and get to express their love and care daily. Approximately 95% of pastoral care can be taken care of in the daily rhythms of Bridgeway community life. The other 5%, however, occurs when a person is in need of long-term help, or a difficult and ongoing situation that is more than a group and its leaders can manage on their own.
