Visitation
Each week, church pastoral staff members visit church
members in the hospital and nursing homes. They also visit those that are
homebound.
Pastoral Counseling
The First Assembly pastoral staff is here to serve the congregation. Part of
that service involves counseling in times of difficulty. Counseling involves using Biblical principles
to find the root of problems and come to solutions.
Pre-Marital Counseling
The ideal time for marriage counseling is before the wedding. The church offers
a complete program for engaged couples that includes workbooks, videos, and
counseling sessions to help prepare them for married life and what they can
expect from each other and themselves.
Baby Dedications
This is a simple, short ceremony performed before the congregation during Sunday
morning services. It is not infant baptism, and the child is not believed to
receive salvation from the event. It is merely a public statement before God and
fellow Christians that the parents pledge to raise their child in a loving
Christian home and serve as examples so that, at the earliest age of
accountability, the child can accept Christ as his or her Savior. The Pastor
reminds parents of their major responsibility and charges the church to serve as
a loving environment for the child's physical, emotional, and spiritual
development.
Support Groups
Sometimes, particular life problems require help and support from other people
in a warm, caring environment. First Assembly uses the Turning Point program.
This program uses various support
groups that meet for a limited time to examine particular life problems so the
participants can help each other. Past support groups have included Concerned
Persons (for those affected by someone with life-controlling problems),
Anger management groups, grief, and Insight (recovery from
life-controlling problems).
