You will then have an opportunity to meet with a Care Partner Leader to ask any questions and make your final decision.

Yes.
Our Call Center Administrator will connect with the care receiver first. Only after the care receiver understands Care Partner Ministry and has agreed to meet with a Care Partner will you be contacted.
No.
Many people decide to continue as Care Partners for as long as they desire. You and your Care Partner Leader will make that decision when the time comes.
First of all, you will never be knowingly assigned to people who might be in those situations.
The Care Partner training also helps you to know exactly when and how to help your care receiver get professional help when necessary. The Supervision Group, the Care Partner Leaders, and the pastors are also there to help you to make such decisions.
Most definitely!
Care Partners complement the pastor’s ministry and provide even more care to those who need it.
No.
You are not expected to spend any money whatsoever on the care receiver. You are also not expected to personally provide any other specific services for a care receiver, such as transportation or baby-sitting, for example. As a Care Partner, you may at times assist in arranging for such services.
There are 16 hours of training.
As a Care Partner you will visit about once a week (for about one hour) with the person you are caring for. You will also attend a monthly meeting for supervision and continuing education.
