The Shepherding Ministry provides a means of caring and communicating – among members of the church and between the congregation and the pastor. All members of St. Matthews United Methodist Church are assigned a shepherd to care for them. This ministry is an important link that helps members achieve a sense of “belonging”.

Shepherds do the following as a means of caring for church members:

1. Pray for members of their flock.
2. Communicate with members bimonthly via phone call, text, email, visits, cards, small gatherings, etc.
3. Contact the Pastor and/or church office if someone in their flock has a personal/family issue they want to share.
4. Reach out in other ways, when needed.
