Pastoral Care

We’ve Got Time for You.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.” –Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Grief Care
For those who have lost loved ones, our deepest sympathies go out to you. During this time of grieving we want to offer ourselves to you in any way possible – whether you need an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on; if you need assistance with planning and preparation of funeral and memorial services, we can do that too. Just let us know. No matter how long it has been since the death of your loved one, we are here and we care.

Stephen Ministry
If you are going through a difficult time in your life, the Stephen Ministry at First Baptist Dallas will equip a member of our congregation especially for you in your difficult time. These caring people will provide you with confidential, one-to-one Christian care.

Hospital Care
Hospitals can be lonely and harsh places. With Jesus as our model, we strive to provide care, strength and encouragement to the hospitalized, not only through prayer, but also through personal visits with patients. If you know of someone who is or will be hospitalized, please call our offices and let us know.

Home Care
Home Care is one of our largest areas of ministry. It is our joy to reach out to the homebound in order to keep them connected to the body of Christ. There are boundless ways that one can enrich the lives of the homebound, whether it is by visiting for a short time, running errands, or even doing small jobs around the house. For the terminally ill, we have an in-home chaplain who makes weekly visits so that they may be supported through prayer, pastoral guidance and encouragement. If you, or a loved one, are in this difficult situation, we want to be a blessing. Two times a year First Baptist Dallas brings those that are homebound to the church for our Lord’s Supper Agape Feasts. These are services that are specifically geared towards these special people in our congregation. Home Care members can expect to be blessed, as they are able to corporately participate in communion, fellowship, good food and live entertainment.

Weddings
It’s your big day! First Baptist Dallas wants everything that the Lord has to offer for you and your future spouse, and that is why we offer, and highly recommend, pre-marital counseling and other classes/seminars that will help you have a happy and lifelong marriage relationship. Further assistance is also given through our wedding coordinator, who is able to provide help with the planning and costs to ensure that you have a stress-free and memorable wedding day, like the one you have always dreamed of.
