Interfaith Caregivers

Area congregations of all faiths have come together to provide an effective volunteer caregiving outreach ministry. Living at Home forms a unique relationship with our coalition congregations. The volunteers from each congregation make up a pool of volunteers who assist not only the members of their congregation, they also reach out to others, including those who do not have a church home. This is a natural way for Christians and others of faith to be involved within the community.

Galatians 5: 13b-14:
“Out of love, place yourselves at one
another’s service. The whole law has
found its fulfillment in this one saying:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Thirteen area congregations have become coalition members:

Each congregation appoints a congregational coordinator, who
• Serves as a liaison between the church and the Interfaith Caregivers Program, providing information about the project to the church.
• Helps recruit volunteers.
• Assists in identifying and referring persons in need of services.
• Attends Interfaith Caregivers meetings with Congregational Coordinators from other churches. Congregational coordinators will meet periodically.

Each congregation also contributes financially through an annual Interfaith Caregivers Offering.
