Pastoral Care

Prayer Ministry

As we gather on Sunday for our services, there is an expectation that God will speak for our strengthening, encouragement, and comfort, to challenge us, heal us and guide us. While those conversations often start in services, they rarely end there!

As we look to partner with Jesus in His work in our lives through the ministry of the Spirit with us, a response is often required as God speaks. Although it can take a lifetime to work out those responses, sometimes, having a person or couple of people to pray with you straight after a service, or midweek can really help. We’re currently building a team of people who will be specifically available for this ministry… but in the short term, if you’d like someone to pray with you, please do make yourself known after a service, or get in touch!

Visits

With a small team who are committed to pastoral care, we’re often able to visit people at home or in hospital, if they’d benefit from a listening ear, some prayer, some encouragement from the Bible, or the chance to share communion, if they’re unable to make it to Sunday services. While we’re not a counselling service, we know that having someone to be with you during times of change, trauma, bereavement, ill heath, or any number of difficulties can make all the difference… especially with the power of prayer! To request a visit, or find out more please do get in touch.

Weddings

Our Church is a licenced venue for Christian marriages! It’s mostly people who come to the church who get married here, but if you’re new to Sheffield and haven’t yet settled into a church, or you’d like to talk through costs and options as to what a Wedding at CRBC might involve, please do get in touch.

Funerals

We understand that the death of a family member, loved one of friend can be a very difficult time, and that funeral services are an important part of our grieving processes, as we thank God for the one we miss, and entrust them into His hands.

With capacity to seat several hundred people, our own organist and other required teams, CRBC has a long history of working with all the major funeral directors around the city, for both services at the church, or at any of the city’s crematoriums.

Whether the deceased was known to the church or not, whether there was involvement in years gone by, or whether it’s the family who have faith, we know there is hope and comfort in the Christian faith. To enquire about CRBC hosting a funeral service, to find out more or to ask any questions, please do get in touch.
