Care & Support

God’s design for His people—the church—is that we stand together with one another to provide hope and healing in all seasons of life. This is the heart of Care Ministries at PCC. If you currently are faced with circumstances that are challenging or unexpected, there are places at Pathway where you can receive the support you need.

Our Care Team is here to offer support, comfort, and assistance when you are faced with loss. It is our privilege to walk beside you and assist you in making plans to honor, remember, and celebrate the life of your loved one. Pathway offers pastors who can help you plan your loved one’s memorial or funeral, and who can perform the service (either at Pathway or at another area location). To begin the process of planning a funeral or memorial service, contact our Care Team at care@pccfw.org, or call our office at 260.469.4444.

Pathway offers a time of prayer before Sunday morning services. These gatherings open with a reflection on a verse or a short devotional thought. Most of the time we have an open format for praying, and prayer happens in groups. The topics for prayer will vary but will always include praying for Pathway, the weekend services, and PCC ministries. As we continue to cultivate a culture of prayer at Pathway, we invite you to pray with us at any of these Sunday morning gatherings!
