Pastoral Care
How we shepherd and minister the flock
Hospital Visits: Conducted by ministers and volunteers during weekdays.
Funeral and Memorial Visits: Ministers and staff help families plan meaningful worship services both at Taylors First Baptist and at local funeral homes. Click to view our funeral planning guide.
Personal and Family Crises: Ministers help families walk through life’s crises by connecting them with God and resources in the church and community.
Minister on Call: In a crisis when the Church Office is closed, a minister may be contacted by calling the main church number and following the phone prompts.
Ministerial Counseling: Ministerial Staff are glad to discuss how people can find strength and help through their personal relationship with God in times of difficulty. Often ministers refer individuals to other helping resources for ongoing care.
