Sheltering Tree

How does Sheltering Tree work? 

When is it?

Every Monday night from 7:00 to 8:30 pm there will be people available to meet with you.

Where is it?

On site teams are available on the lower level of Third Church at Third Place Cafe.  If it is not possible for you to come to the church, a home appointment can be arranged.

Who will be there?

The people who are involved in Sheltering Tree have been trained and gifted by God to minister to others.  These people are not trained counselors, but will have referral sources available should you desire professional help.

How does this work?

People will be waiting to greet you on any given Monday night.  You can make an appointment by completing our online form, by calling us at 641-628-4900 x203 or by emailing jkraft@trcpella.com

Our Promise to you....

Sharing your heart with another person is a sacred act.  We promise to guard what you entrust to us.  Sheltering Tree is a safe, confidential place where every person is treated with dignity and respect.

What types of care does Sheltering Tree provide?    

Congregational Care

This team provides ongoing support of congregational needs, such as visits to the elderly, those with health issues and other less urgent needs.  Most of these teams are sent out to make visits that have been pre-arranged.
