Who is the Care Team for?
The Care Team is a ministry designed to serve those within the RiverStone community. It exists to support our church family by offering care and encouragement in times of need—whether spiritual, practical, or emotional.
Although the Care Team may feel supportive and therapeutic, it is NOT therapy. At times, you may encounter challenges that benefit from ongoing, one on one counseling. If you would like assistance connecting with a counselor, please email care@riverstoneonline.org
How do I request care?
If you or someone you know needs support, you can contact the church office (678-384-5200), care@riverstoneonline.org, or a ministry leader. You may also submit a Care Team Referral Form.
Who can volunteer and serve on the Care Team?
Typically, the Care Team consists of volunteers, church staff, and clergy members who are trained to provide emotional support, prayer, and practical assistance. Volunteers do not need to be professionals, but should have a compassionate heart and the ability to listen and support others.
