Pastoral Care is central to the work and witness of the church in our communities, and skilled and authorised lay ministers have an important part to play. In the words of a training APA student:
‘Pastoral Care is more than looking after sheep – it’s to do with ministering to people within the church and beyond in order to
accompany people physically, emotionally and psychologically in their journey through life'
