Pastoral Care

Staying Connected while Staying at Home

Along with staying safe and healthy, clergy, staff, parish leaders, and volunteers are reaching out with our church family to check in and stay connected. Meanwhile, please contact us if you or anyone you know is in need. We'd also love to hear from you if you want to help with meeting some of those needs.

Pastoral Care Contacts

We love to care for our parishioners. Do you know of anyone, homebound or otherwise, in need of a pastoral contact? We don’t want to miss anyone.

Hospital Visits

An important part of the church’s role in the community is to provide care in times of need. Our clergy visit local hospitals to visit church members in need of prayer, anointing, or a visit. We are currently following all recommendations for social distancing, as well as particular hospital guidelines.

Pastoral Counsel

St. George’s clergy are available to speak with you personally to provide pastoral support and encouragement. Please contact any of our clergy directly to schedule an appointment.

Partnership with Rev. Billy Cerveny

There has been much conversation in our congregation over recent months concerning the myriad emotional and spiritual issues affecting our members and our community. We are pleased to share that St. George’s has entered into a formal partnership with Rev. Billy Cerveny, who will offer professional pastoral counsel as an important dimension of our overall pastoral care ministries.

For Inquiries & Appointments

To schedule an appointment with Billy, please feel free to contact him directly at info@redbirdnashville.com or 615-482-4559, or through the Redbird website.

Healing Ministry

God heals. We trust that God yearns for all of us to pray for and experience healing – physical, emotional, relational, spiritual. And we give thanks to God when people do experience healing. It’s not every time we pray, and it’s not always in the ways that we expect. But week after week as we pray together, God comes with healing, freedom, joy, and peace. Week after week, God is healing people we love here at St. George’s.

Intercessory Prayer

The Intercessory Prayer Group meets online for Bible study to learn about prayer and how to pray faithfully for different circumstances in life with the goal of improving or changing them for the better. And of course we pray for ourselves, our families, the church, the community, the nation, and special needs in the world.

Join us each Thursday at 5:00pm via Zoom.
