Pastoral Care Staff: Josh Mateer, Lynnell Bok, Lou Degraaf, Char Hilber, Mike Looney, Regina Scovill, Claire Walker pastoral care Over the last year the main focus in Pastoral Care has been to implement the Care Network. This is the strategy of partnering with and supporting community groups as they provide care for the people of Calvary. The community groups, Adult Sunday Classes and other community groups have all been working to provide care for those in their midst. Many of the groups have simply been strengthened in their already solid efforts of care and other groups have been started with the purpose of caring for people in especially tough seasons of life.

Char Hilber has come on board in the areas of counseling and marriage enrichment and Mike Looney is working in conjunction with senior adults and pastoral care.
