Care Services
Pastoral Counseling
To meet with one of the Pastoral Team for a Christian counseling and/or to receive a referral to a professional Christian counseling service, email our pastor care team.
Homebound Ministry
Even if you are unable to attend Westwood Church physically, you can still experience fellowship and community with us. Let our Homebound Ministry bring the church to you! You will enjoy spending time with one of Westwood’s Homebound caring Visitors, praying together, reading Scripture and receiving communion. Many people have built a special bond with those who visit them. And, it’s just as enjoyable for us, too!
For more information email our Pastoral Care Team.
Hospital Visitation
When illness and hospital stays become a part of our lives, it helps to have a caring person visit and pray with us. If you or a loved one will be in the hospital, email pastoral care to set up a visit.
Support Groups
GriefShare
Do you need help dealing with grief? GriefShare groups are here for you. At GriefShare you’ll receive valuable guidance and tips, leading you to relief, comfort and peace of mind. A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief.
Next session: TBD
Re|engage Marriage Ministry
Re|engage is a small-groups based ministry. Unlike traditional counseling or mentoring where couples meet with an individual or one other couple, we believe life (and marriage) transformation best occurs in the context of relationships with others. Marriages in any condition can benefit, whether you are struggling to get along, your marriage is broken, or you simply want to grow closer together as a couple. Previously married couples who are separated or divorced, but might consider reconciling, are also welcome to attend re|engage.
Our next session will run January 20 through April 28 from 6:30-8pm. Cost is $30/couple and free for returning alumni! Sign up here.
