Prayer and Care
Get support for all of life’s challenges from a biblical perspective
Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to walk through it alone.
Through prayer, care, and counseling at Third Church, you can find encouragement, be filled with hope, and be strengthened as you journey through life.
Prayer
Prayer Team
A dedicated team of volunteers provides confidential prayer support. Our desire is to be a safe place and a listening ear as you seek God’s heart, healing, and restoration. We offer a variety of opportunities to receive prayer, and we invite you to come at a time that works for you.
Sundays – During Worship
Prayer teams are available at the 9:15 AM and the 10:45 AM services in the Sanctuary and Auditorium. Teams will be available to pray with you during our last time of worship as well as in the post-service window.
Seasons of Prayer
Seasons of Prayer is a ministry for those desiring extended times of prayer. Over three sessions, you will meet with a prayer minister for one hour. If interested, please fill out an application to help us understand more about your prayer needs.
Refresh – Thursdays, 12:00–1:00 PM
Refresh is a weekly prayer gathering in the Auditorium that offers an atmosphere of quiet worship along with prayer ministers available to silently pray over you. Come and go as your schedule allows.

Healing Prayer Training
We offer two levels of prayer training for those who would like to learn how to pray for people. After you complete Level 1, you are eligible to apply for the Prayer Ministry Team at Third Church. Even if you do not want to serve on a prayer team, we welcome anyone to be equipped to pray well for their own family and friends. For more information on training, contact Steph Hietbrink.
Care

Community Care Team
Community Care Teams visit people’s homes to offer encouragement and prayer. They provide ongoing support for the congregation through regular visits to the elderly, those experiencing health challenges, and others in need of care and connection.
Care Companions
Care Companions are laypeople assigned to walk with a person one-on-one over several years with the purpose of building lasting relationships. They provide care to people of Third Church who are experiencing longer-term care needs.
Meals Ministry
Meals are offered short-term during times of difficulty/illness.
To request care, please fill out this form and a member of our team will connect with you.
Counseling
Counseling Assistance
Need counseling, but can’t fit it in the budget? Third Church provides funds to help people who need assistance to pay for Christian counseling. This program requires an application process, as well as updates from assistance recipients every six months. Email Jane Kraft for more information.
