Who do you call when crisis strikes in your life? Who can help? At Village, our crisis care ministries focus on sharing Christ's love in practical and meaningful ways to those in the midst of difficult circumstances such as hospitalization, illness, loss of a loved one, loss of employment or unforeseen family struggle or major life change. As a church family, we want to be there for you when you need us the most.

• Pastoral Crisis Response
  Who do you call for support when crisis comes you way? At Village, we believe God calls us to care for one another, and as a church family, we want to be there when you need us. A member of your Village pastoral staff is on call 24 hours a day to assist families in times of crisis. If you are experiencing a true emergency after normal office hours, please dial (503) 972-8282 and a pastor will return your call as quickly as possible.
• Pastoral Visitation
  Difficulty and crisis can shape us into the people God wants us to be. Healing from difficulty and loss can involve different stages, feelings and steps. Sometimes it helps to talk with someone who really cares about you and your needs. At Village, your pastoral staff are available to meet with you, pray for you, and encourage you from God's word. Please contact our Community Care department at (503) 643-6511 to schedule a visit from one of our pastoral staff.
• Prayer Support
  When you are hurting, one of the greatest encouragements is to know that someone is praying for you. At Village, prayer is at the heart of all we do. By taking the time to fill out a Friendship Card at one of our services, or by emailing your prayer request to us, the pastoral staff can pray for you about the issues that concern you the most.
• Divorce Recovery
  Divorce can be a traumatic experience. Village, in conjunction with several other churches on the west side, offers the Divorce Recovery Workshop at various times throughout the year. Go to our Divorce Recovery page to learn more.
