Welfare Ministry

The Welfare team of Word Pastures believes we are mandated to bring people together, strengthen relationships and create bonds between our members through love.  We oversee the general welfare administration.

Vision

The purpose of the team is to respond and cater to individuals spiritual and emotional needs by helping the less fortunate and needy coupled with reaching out to our surrounding community.

Mission

The team allows the church to show compassion through support and acts of kindness imitating Jesus Christ as echoed in James 1:27. We organise teams to visit members when a need arises such as when a member gives birth, a wedding, bereavement or when a member is hospitalised to name a few.

Aims and Objectives

• To demonstrate the love of Christ through practical care and support for those in need within the church and local community.
• To uphold the dignity and worth of every individual, ensuring that no one feels forgotten or alone in times of difficulty.

• To identify and respond to the welfare needs of church members and the community through structured outreach and care programs.
• To provide assistance in the form of food, clothing, financial aid, transportation, counselling referrals, and other practical resources.
• To encourage church-wide involvement in giving, volunteering, and supporting welfare projects as an expression of Christian love and community.
