Congregational Care
As Christians, we recognize that we are cared for deeply by God, and it is out of our experience of care that we are inspired to care for each other. In fact, we believe that when we care selflessly for each other, it is actually God caring through us.
With this in mind, WBC seeks to be both a place where people can come to receive care, and a place where each person is equipped to care for their neighbour. Our hope in doing this is that we foster a culture of care in our church, because when we receive care, we are then better able to go out and care for others.
How can I access care at WBC?
