Ministry Opportunity in Sunshine Coast / Gympie Region

Ministry Opportunity in Sunshine Coast / Gympie Region

Friends in Christ, Lutheran Services is seeking to identify and encourage people who would wish to test a call to pastoral care in a specific way as follows:

Do you or someone you know have the heart to be a pastoral carer? Lutheran Services is engaged in Aged and Disability support in Queensland.  Currently the opportunity exists for someone who loves God and people to engage in training to be a pastoral carer.

Lutheran Services will:

• undertake to pay training in Clinical Pastoral Education (about 20 days, less than half in Brisbane northside, others online)
• offer a one day a week paid placement at either Cooinda Aged Care in Gympie or Immanuel Gardens in Buderim.

Such a role could be done in association with e.g. the current Masters’ of Ministry being offered by Australian Lutheran College.  The role is open to both men and women.  Enquiries can be made of your local pastor or Dr Russell Briese, Director of Chaplaincy and Ministry Development, 0487 186 660; russell.briese@lutheranservices.org.au; or apply here.
