Care Ministry

You Belong Here

We exist as a community to support one another, to walk together through the seasons of life where we are celebrating, and the seasons of life where we are hurting.

We offer a wide range of care ministries to provide comfort, guidance, and community for those in need. Explore the options below to find the support you’re looking for, or discover how you can get involved in caring for others.

Prayer Team

We'd love to pray with you and for you. At Good Shepherd, we believe in the power of prayer and gather to lift up those requesting additional prayers for individual and confidential requests.

Our prayer team is available to pray with you and for you at any time.

Support Groups

If you’re looking for support during a difficult time, we offer a variety of Support Groups within our Care Ministry. These groups are safe, supportive spaces for those navigating grief, divorce, or other life challenges, offering hope and healing through community and shared experiences.

Meals Team

Meals Ministry provides tangible care to congregants of our church family who are recovering from a health crisis, loss, or who have welcomed a new infant into their family. Meals Ministry will offer support to these families or individuals by providing meals to show care and hospitality. It is a great blessing to individuals and families facing new circumstances to receive a meal!













Receive Care

Our Care Team wants to help you. Our team consists of members of our congregation who are trained to provide one-on-one care to people experiencing difficulties in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, family difficulties, chronic or terminal illness, relocation, or separation due to military deployment.

Our Care Team is trained to listen, care, encourage, pray, and walk alongside you during overwhelming times while providing distinctively Christian care. Through caring relationships, those who are hurting receive the love and care they need to support them through life’s hardships. This valuable care is confidential, safe, free of cost, and very helpful.


Visitation Team

Our team of equipped laypeople lives out the mission to provide compassionate support to those who are homebound, facing an unexpected hospital stay, or going in for planned hospital care.

If you or a loved one are homebound or in the hospital and would like to receive a visit, please email Pastor Pamela Palmer.

If a loved one is entering end of life care, please call 630-961-9220 for support.

"Who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
