Pastoral Care

St Ebbe’s is a church family, and we try to do our best to love, support and care for one another well.  

Being part of a small group is very helpful. We get to know a smaller number of people really well – people who are committed to our practical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Our small group is often the best place to start if we are struggling – sharing needs, praying together, speaking to group leaders etc.

Do also consider speaking to a member of staff or emailing pastoralcare@stebbes.org if you would prefer.

Sometimes issues are more serious and require specialist help. Perhaps they have become life-dominating, particularly painful or we’re just feeling stuck. In this case, professional counselling can help.

Caroline Poole and Jonathan Crozier are both professional counsellors and members of St Ebbes. They see clients at the church and elsewhere. There are also other local counselling centres e.g. Nuance Counselling and Welcome Counselling which church members have found helpful in the past.
