Pastoral Care

At Bethesda-by-the-Sea we clothe ourselves in compassion through our Pastoral Care program, an organizational structure that includes the clergy, staff, and lay members of the congregation. Through a network of helping hands and hearts, this in-reach ministry provides support to members of our congregation during times of need.

BBTS Cares provides a framework for parishioners to help one another in spiritual, emotional, and practical ways: meals, household assistance, tech support, transportation guidance, and emotional support. Parishioners volunteer to serve others in small acts of kindness or larger commitments.
