Dayspring Pastoral Care
“God’s agenda is the mending of creation.”
Our Ministry Team is available to provide care to persons associated with Dayspring. Several of Dayspring’s health professionals do what they can, on a volunteer basis, to assist with care when there are health needs or challenges and occasionally organize workshops on health-related topics.
Jesus’ ministry stressed the healing of the whole person. Early Christians were inspired by a sense of wholeness in their mission to the world. They believed that the new life that Christ came to impart was extended to the entire human being: body, mind and spirit.
