Bethany Chapel is pleased to continue to develop Pastoral Care and Parish Nursing within our church family.  Pastoral Care exists to empower people to walk in wholeness and strength, enabling them to fulfill the purposes of God for their lives within the Bethany body and the larger community.  We believe that wellness is a matter of the whole person - body, mind and spirit.  Pastoral Care at Bethany Chapel assists individuals and families in becoming more responsible for maintaining their own health, as well as that of their church family.  The Parish Nurse / Pastoral Care Team works in conjunction with the pastoral staff and the elders to ensure an ever increasing effectiveness in our health ministries within our congregation and our local community.
