Partners in Care
An initiative of the Christian Faith. The purpose of this initiative is to coordinate support for Self, Families and Friends through partner-ships with local faith communities. All faith communities are welcome to participate as “Partners In Care" congregations.
Participating congregations agree to provide the Residing Chaplain with a current list of supportive services offered, as well as a congregational point of contact for coordination and communication of information, referrals, and support. I am currently working on “Partners in Care” congregations located in West, East, Southeast and Middle Tennessee who offer services that include counseling, child care, basic household and auto repairs, lawn care, home cooked meals, child and teen mentoring, reunion support, single parent deployment support, emergency food, clothing and housing support, transportation, parenting classes and financial support. (This list is not exhaustive and availability varies by congregations)

Marriage Mentors
Marriage mentoring offers practical support to couples as they face the inherent stresses of everyday life and new stages in marriage.
This program encourages both older couples to communicate with younger couples. Instead of a “marriage counseling” type of mentoring, this program simply uses a successful, healthy couple as a role model.
They share their experience through their stories. The wealth of resources in healthy life style marriages can be mobilized to help strengthen younger married couples. The program is designed with flexibility to meet the demands of work and school schedule deployments.

Mentoring can occur in small groups or one-to-one couple meetings over a twelve-week or twelve-month format and develop a friendship over guided conversations about marriage.
They share their wisdom gained through experiences, stories surface marriage strengths, joys, memories, differences, challenges, and problem-solving skills.
