Lay Ministry Training Calendar

Below is a calendar of training events and seminars currently planned in case you'd like to take advantage of one already scheduled in your area. We believe by working to train those who are already spiritually minded to better serve cancer patients and their families in their area, we'll be multiplying our efforts to provide the best possible spiritual care and support for cancer patients everywhere.

If you'd like more information on these important and vital training opportunities and how to schedule our Pastoral Care team in your church for either lay ministry training or cancer-care seminars, please call 1-888-399-8126 today.

But if not properly supported, caregivers aren?t able to maintain the energy and positive attitude that is needed and can actually negatively impact a patient?s ability to get well. Trusting that faith and attitude can dramatically affect health outcomes, Rev. Barry helps both patients and caregivers look at cancer from a different perspective ? a positive one.
