Ministries

Pastoral Care

The ministry of listening from a faith perspective is an important part of the ministry at Grace Anglican, Brantford. The Rector of Grace is available to anyone who seeks his pastoral care, whether a member of the parish or someone from the outside community. The most frequently requested pastoral ministry includes couples and crisis counselling, pre-marital preparation, and relationship counselling. The rector also has experience in prison chaplaincy.

Confidentiality is assured. If you are in need of the pastoral care ministry of Grace Church, just call and ask for an appointment with the rector. He will try to see you quickly.
