The Community of Hope trains volunteer lay people to participate in Christian communities committed to pastoral care.  Pastoral care is when a person is being “present” in a listening, compassionate, non-controlling manner to an individual or group for the purpose of consciously or unconsciously representing God to them and seeking to respond to their spiritual needs.
