Small groups are the primary place for pastoral care and oversight within the life of the church.

They are places where we can be known, know others and receive prayer and support as part of a loving community.

When an immediate or ongoing problem goes beyond the resource of a small group, the small group leader may seek assistance from their cluster group leader or a member of pastoral staff. Together they can determine the most appropriate form of pastoral care for the individual.

Small ministry teams:

If you have a persistent problem, illness or a family difficulty, you can bring this before God for his understanding and healing. Small ministry teams offer you the opportunity to receive short-term ministry through prayer and biblical counsel by trained teams over a number of weeks. Sessions are available to those who consider Trent Vineyard their church and attend a small group on a regular basis.
