Pastoral Care provides a ministry to individuals and families affected by illness, hospitalization, terminal diagnosis, disease, and bereavement, as well as their long-term effects. We visit all area hospital, health care and hospice facilities and the homebound within a 75-mile radius of HFBC.
Our staff is available 24 hours a day, everyday of the year. To schedule an appointment, to share a concern, or for medical emergencies call 713.957.6761.
Operating Philosophy: Guided by the challenge and spirit set forth in James 5:11, 13 - 15 “...the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful...and prayer offered in faith will restore...” And the promise of Isaiah 53: 4 - 5 that reminds us that “Our grief or sickness He Himself bore, and our sorrows or pain He carried...”
Should we, as fellow believers, do anything less?
