BeFriender Ministry

BEFRIENDER MINISTRY AT DILWORTH LUTHERAN CHURCH

At times, life is a difficult journey for just about every person. Many need, now and then, a caring companion who will listen, empathize, and be a living witness of a caring community.

A Befriender:
• Listens with compassion
• Accepts people as they are
• Respects another’s spiritual journey
• Embodies the caring presence of God

BeFrienders is a national, ecumenical, non-profit organization that has been around since the early 1980’s, providing leadership training and ongoing support for a listening ministry of lay pastoral care in congregations.  If you know of someone who could use a BeFriender in their life or if you are interested in becoming a BeFriender yourself, click the button below and complete the confidential form, and one of our BeFrienders will reach out and introduce themselves to schedule a time to do an initial visit.
