Everyone experiences a trying situation or is given a difficult journey at some point in life. Whether it's grief, depression, loss, sickness, loneliness, or a major life transition, everyone knows a season of challenge. People sometimes travel this path alone, without help. Pastoral care is the church’s response to the suffering people experience. This can take many different forms, but it always seeks to meet people at their lowest points and draw them to the mercy and loving care of God.
We believe in the power of prayer. Click on the confidential link below with your prayer request and someof our prayer team will commit to praying for you (or the person you would like prayer for) over the coming week.

St MJ’s Church is a stone’s throw from our local Medical and health Centre. We partner with Village health in a number of ways with physio’s holding strength and movement classes at St MJ’s hall. Village Healths team is made up of general practitioners, nurses, physiotherapist, a nurse assistant, dietitians and more.
The Mission helps anyone who needs it regardless of their circumstances. We take on the hardest cases with love and optimism. While our emergency care is vital we also provide much more than that.
