PASTORAL CARE

Our Pastoral Care ministry is compromised of several sub-ministries all dealing with the relational. You'll find assistance with everything from water baptisms to getting married. It is our mission to be of support as you journey through different seasons of life. Read below to find additional information for each department.

We believe the ordinance of baptism by immersion in water is commanded of all who repent and believe in Christ as their Savior. It represents having died with Christ and being raised with Him in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4)

Who can be baptized?

The two main qualifications for anyone to be baptized are:

1. Repentance and,
2. Faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

NOTE:

• All baptism candidates are required to attend a compulsory class on water baptism.

• All baptism candidates who have attended the Water Baptism Class will be issued with a certificate after they have been through the water baptism service.

Children are a blessing from the Lord. If you have made a commitment to raise your baby (aged 14 months and below) according to the Word of God, our pastors would love to pray a blessing over your bundle of joy.

iCare Pastoral Ministry seeks to provide pastoral care, spiritual guidance and emotional support during times of crisis or challenges in an individual’s life. iCare is a biblical-based ministry approach, focusing on understanding and helping to resolve the underlying issues that affect a person’s everyday life. It aims to minister freedom, inner healing, and restoration in accordance to biblical principles.

We also offer intensive issue-focused ministry sessions for a person who desires help in dealing with one issue/problem/topic that is affecting his life.

If a loved one (spouse, child, parent, sibling or grandparent) has passed on, we are here to comfort and support you. At the immediate family’s request, we will arrange pastoral support for the family and in conducting the funeral service.

Marriage is ordained of God and we desire to empower you and your future spouse with biblical and practical principles to enable you to have a fulfilling and successful marriage! Our pastors would love to meet, get to know, and walk through this journey with both of you.

To sign up for our marriage preparation program, please ensure both you and your future spouse:

• Are believers and have been attending Alive Church regularly for at least six months

• Consider Alive Church your home church

• Desire to put Christ in the center of your marriage and to follow His plan as a spouse.
