Besides giving general supervision and
consultative leadership to the staff and to many of the programs
and ministries of the church, Pastor Kip
is available to
individuals and families in the following ways:
Counseling. A phone
call to the church office is all that is necessary to make an
appointment to discuss a personal or family problem.
Crisis Counseling.
Pastor Whittaker, or another staff member, is usually available in
crisis situations and will suggest further community resources if
needed.
Hospital Visitation.
Pastor Whittaker regularly visits in local hospitals. Be sure to
inform the church office when you, or a member of your family, is
hospitalized.
Nursing Homes and Home Bound. Our
Parish Visitor calls regularly on these members. Pastor Whittaker
visits by request and as he is able.

Death. At the time of
the death of a family member, Pastor Whittaker expects to be
called so he may be available to help during this difficult period
of loss and to plan an appropriate funeral or memorial service.
Home Visits. Pastor
Whittaker will be glad to make a pastoral visit in your home. It
is usually best to make a specific request and set a convenient
time when you will be at home.
Children’s Baptism.
Parents who wish to present their children for the Sacrament of
Baptism should plan to meet with Pastor Whittaker in preparation
for the Baptism.
Marriage. Couples
should schedule well in advance in order to meet with Pastor
Whittaker and the Wedding Coordinator in preparation for the
wedding ceremony.
