Care Mentoring

At HHICC, we want to come alongside you in the good times and the bad times of life. All of us experience seasons in life where we go through hard things or just can’t figure out how to move forward. In those times, God tells us clearly there is wisdom and value in having someone to care for or mentor us which is why we offer what we call Care Mentoring. Our Care Mentoring program empowers people within our church —called Care Mentors — to provide “spiritual support when you’re stuck”. Care Mentors are trained to offer high-quality, confidential, one-to-one Christian care to people going through tough times or who just need an outside perspective and a little help. A Care Mentor usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. Twice a month, our Care Mentors gather together for supervision and continuing education with other Care Mentors, all while maintaining the anonymity of their care receivers.

Care Mentoring is NOT professional counseling. Care Mentoring can be suitable care for a variety of mild to moderate personal, emotional, marriage, and family issues, but it’s not a substitute for professional counseling. We like to think we’re “more than a friend, but less than a professional”. Some issues therefore, depending on their nature or severity, may require referral to professional counseling.
