Pastoral Care encompasses many things, essentially ministering to a group of people outside the four walls of a church, so that more may know the Lord. Like Jesus’ ministry in houses, streets, and hillsides, care ministry leaders are also always shoulder to shoulder with people in the moments they need His hope and truth.

Between ministering in hospitals, homes, and within the public arena, care ministry leaders reach beyond the church building to pray for and minister to those who need to be close to Jesus.

Here in the Minnesota District, Pastor Deedee Lindelien has the joy of ministering with patients in the 22 metro hospitals, Rochester Mayo, St, Cloud, Brainerd, and anywhere there is a need in the State. Deedee also visits and prays for individuals who are in long-term care, assisted living, and hospice care facilities and homes.

Additionally, Deedee enjoys the opportunity she has to serve as a resource for Minnesota AG pastors who need someone to fill the pulpit for a weekend, or just need someone to talk to.

Deedee also visits people in the State prisons, jails, and mental health centers, so that they may know the love of Jesus. She also is able to officiate weddings, and host funerals.
