A Casserole Does Not A Ministry Make: Setting Up a Caregiver Ministry
A Caregiver Symposium for Church, Staff, and Lay Leaders

October 25 – 26, 2007

According to the Family Caregiver Alliance sixty-five percent of caregivers don't receive consistent help from other family members. A large percentage of these caregivers attend churches of all denominations, but the majority of churches do not have an active caregiver ministry. Caregiving should not, cannot, and must not to be done alone and the church must play an active role in caring for the caregiver. If your church would like to start a caregiver ministry or make a current ministry even stronger, you won't want to miss this conference.
