Soul Care ministry exists to provide a fellowship of people in an affirming atmosphere for personal growth and for emotional and spiritual renewal.
The Soul in Soul Care is defined as, “the inner person, the real person, which outlasts its physical home; the place where emotional pain is felt, true fellowship is offered, and where personal values reside.”
- Dr. Doug McIntosh
“There is a common ground of understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, and healing when we are authentic with each other. When we tell our real-life stories of what we have encountered on the journey of life, we break down barriers and create safe places to risk revealing the truth. Intimacy in our relationships springs to life when we are no longer hiding behind a mask of denial, embarrassment, guilt, or shame. We are just us—people who have had some good days in life and people who have had some very bad days. We’ve quit pretending that everything is ‘fine’ and that life is grand. When we share our stories with each other, we find a way of relating without the façade and without the need to impress. We can just be real. This brings tremendous freedom.”
