Lay Eucharistic Visitors
Introduction to Lay Eucharistic Visitors
Central Baptist Church welcomes you to explore the meaningful role of Lay Eucharistic Visitors (LEVs) in our faith-driven community. Our dedicated team of LEVs plays a vital role in taking the Eucharist to those who are unable to attend regular church services due to illness, age, or other circumstances.
The Importance of Eucharistic Visits
At Central Baptist Church, we understand the significance of spiritual sustenance and the power of the Eucharist in connecting with God. It is during times of illness or confinement that individuals may feel isolated and distant from their faith community. Eucharistic visits aim to bridge that gap, providing comfort, solace, and a sense of belonging.
Role of Lay Eucharistic Visitors
Our dedicated team of Lay Eucharistic Visitors is trained to compassionately carry the sacrament of Holy Communion and offer prayers, spiritual support, and companionship to those in need. LEVs are guided by a deep commitment to serving others and spreading God's love through their actions.
Training and Certification
Central Baptist Church ensures that all Lay Eucharistic Visitors are extensively trained and certified to fulfill their responsibilities effectively. Our training program covers theological understanding, pastoral skills, confidentiality, and protocols for administering the Eucharist.
Support and Mentorship
We provide ongoing support and mentorship to our Lay Eucharistic Visitors, ensuring that they are equipped with the necessary guidance to navigate the emotional and spiritual nuances of their role. Our experienced mentors are always available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide encouragement.
