Pastoral Care
We’re here for you.
If you have an emergency, or it is after regular office hours, you can reach a pastor by calling the church office and accessing the emergency line. Call the church office at (561) 753-8883 ext. 9. The prompts will guide you through how to leave a message, which will be relayed to the pastor on call. Please listen to the prompts and follow the instructions to be sure that your message will be delivered. A pastor will return the call upon receiving the message.
If for whatever reason you are not able to fill out these forms online, please call the church office during normal office hours (9am-4pm Monday-Thursday) and we will be happy to help you fill out the form.
Perhaps one of the clearest moments when we need the ministry of the church is at the death of a friend or family member. In the first public sermon Jesus ever preached, he said: “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4 NLT). At Community of Hope, we are organized to help you in this important and difficult time.

One of the benefits of being part of a church family is that you can receive help and guidance from your church during some significant times of your life that are connected to your faith. At Community of Hope, we seek to provide easy access to receive help through pastoral counseling.
Request Counseling
Please fill out this form and someone from our care giving team will contact you as soon as possible to set up an appointment to address your needs or help you find the appropriate referral.
Emergencies
If pastoral ministry is needed for emergency situations outside of office hours, call (561) 753-8883 ext. 9. Our ministry staff serves on a weekly rotation to receive calls from this emergency line, in case someone from our church family is admitted to a hospital or if some other pastoral ministry might be required. This number can also be used to get urgent prayer requests out to our email prayer team at times when the office is closed.
At Community of Hope, we believe that prayer is powerful and is the great privilege of every Christian. We also know that there are times when immediate and dedicated prayer should be offered to surround a particular time when care, guidance, comfort, or wisdom is needed.
If you or a loved one are facing a hospital stay, or even outpatient surgery, Community of Hope has a team of people in the church who consider it their ministry to visit and pray for people in this situation. Should this situation occur in your life or in the life of someone you love, here’s what you can do:
Request Visitation
Please fill out this form. After the form is completed, the church office will communicate this information to the pastors and hospital visitation team. The form will also ask your permission to appropriately share your need with our Email Prayer Team, who have committed to faithfully pray for these requests.
If you or a loved one would like a visit from out Shut-in Visitation Team please fill out this form and a member of the team will contact you to set up a visit. The Shut-in Visitation Team has a desire to visit people connected to Community of Hope who are not able to travel to Community of Hope due to health issues.
