Care Ministry

The Care Team reaches out to the members, friends, and families of the church and community during the storms of life to bring the presence of Christ and the promises of God. The care provided is spiritual: always bringing people to Jesus, supporting them in prayer while at the same time teaching them to grow in faith. The care provided is also present: people are available to listen, to be a shoulder to cry on and to be living, breathing ambassadors for Jesus Christ.

Christ-Life®
Christ-Life is a life-changing experience created through a three-phase program that helps people develop true intimacy with Jesus Christ. To register contact Erin Carlson at care@hopenorthbranch.org.

NorthBranch will offer Phase I in September 2010, followed by Phase II in November, finishing with Phase III in the Spring of 2011. 

Phase I   Deals with the Past
Begins September 2010
Experience a safe environment to share and explore your personal history. Learn to identify what your current thinking patterns are and where they came from, allowing you to break away from them and bond to the life God has planned for you.

Phase II   Deals with God in the Present
Begins November 2010
Learn how to get past the hopelessness of not feeling “good enough,” and get off the treadmill of performance. You will identify the pattern of thinking that God wants you to have toward yourself, others, life, and most of all, him.

Phase III   Deals with the Future
Mondays beginning March 22, 2010, 6:30-8:30 pm
Cost: $50 – materials available at first class
Coordinator: Erin Carlson
Sorry, childcare not available
Get practical tools that will allow you to take the power of God beyond “head knowledge,” and into the reality of your everyday life. As you exchange your old thinking patterns for his Christ-Life in you, you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind and experience real life change.
