Care Ministry
An important part of being a family who loves God, follows Jesus, and shares hope is caring for the hurting and the lost. And that is why Care Ministry exists.
To request a meeting, counselor recommendation, visitation for a loved one, prayer or funeral support, contact our Care team using the link below.

Care Support
PRAYER
Request prayer or for someone on our team to visit a loved one in the hospital, their home or a facility (rehabilitation, hospice, assisted living, etc), please use the forms below to let us know.
ENCOURAGEMENT & COUNSELING
As a church, we want to make sure people feel known, loved and supported. Our Care Ministry team is available for confidential appointments to listen, to offer Bible-based support and encouragement, and to recommend next steps. We partner with licensed Christian counselors and can provide recommendations for situations that need next-level assistance.
RESOURCES
If you’re in a difficult situation and would find it valuable to speak with a pastor or member of our care team, we’re happy to listen and pray for you.
Please note that Hope is not able to offer assistance for individual bills.
SUPPORT GROUPS
We currently offer support groups for recovery, for those who have lost a spouse, and for those dealing with separation and divorce.
FUNERALS
Planning a funeral or memorial service to honor, remember, and celebrate loved ones can feel overwhelming. Let Hope’s Care Ministry help you during this difficult time. We can help you plan your loved one’s memorial or funeral—and can lead your service, whether it’s held at Hope (depending on availability) or elsewhere.
UNHINDERED
If you are battling fear, shame, worry, sinful patterns or worldly distractions, God has a plan to clear the path so that you can “run the race” unhindered.
Using God’s word and the power of prayer, trained volunteers can help you identify every hindrance and get back on course with Christ.

We’re excited to let you know about a new Women’s Recovery Community Group launching in Apex!
If alcohol or drugs have been part of your past or present story, this group is a safe, loving place to find support, encouragement, and hope. Together, you’ll build relationships, dive into God’s Word, pray for one another, and walk through life the way Jesus intended side by side.
The group will meet on Tuesday evenings at 6:00pm in a home in Apex.

Losing a spouse is a significant loss that can turn life upside down. On top of experiencing grief, life adjustments are required which can prove to be very challenging. These groups aim to provide spiritual and practical encouragement to help.
