With HomeTouch®, you can create a Christian-based outreach ministry to your homebound members.
Often overlooked, these special individuals and parishioners are part of your homebound ministry or shut-in outreach and can't attend regular church services. They may be experiencing illness and are shut in, or residing in their own homes, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes. These people miss the communal experience and spiritual connection that come with being an integral part of the church family. Church outreach here can become an important ministry.
Designed as more than just a supplemental resource, HomeTouch provides many outreach ministry ideas to help bridge the gap your senior adults or homebound members might feel. Your outreach ministry can rely on HomeTouch to offer a wealth of content and outreach ideas tailored for your homebound ministry. It equips your outreach team, volunteers, or any church leader with the tools needed to establish a nurturing, supportive link with church members who can't physically attend worship services.
Use HomeTouch resources along with visitations to people within the church’s sick and shut in ministry. Sharing a devotional and outreach activity will make your senior adults or other homebound church members feel seen and cherished. This outreach idea serves as a heartfelt reminder of your church ministry's commitment to all people’s emotional and spiritual well-being.
Reach your sick and homebound church members every week.
As an outreach idea for your homebound parishioners, the pastoral care team can assemble and deliver a personalized package brimming with activities and devotionals from HomeTouch. Designed with ease of reading in mind, the devotionals and activities include large-print pages that convey a message of love and remembrance. Here, your church outreach teams from your youth ministry to your women's ministry can truly shine and show compassion and encouragement for these often-forgotten members of the congregation and community.
The outreach ideas include a devotional section that offers a weekly thought, prayer, and uplifting message, alongside space for a personal note from your homebound minister, senior adult pastor, or from church member volunteers.
The activity page keeps minds active and engaged, providing valuable biblical or church-themed exercises as another outreach idea.
HomeTouch offers easily reproducible content to streamline your outreach efforts to not only your senior adult ministry but also to your sick or shut-in ministry and the greater community. Print as many copies as needed. Then either mail them or deliver them during pastoral visits, or during regular visitations from your homebound minister or church volunteers. These packets are a versatile church outreach tool that extends beyond homebound church members. HomeTouch seamlessly fits into any outreach activity or ministry you're involved in, including hospital or nursing home visits. Visit our samples page to view and download a free PDF you can print.
Care for the caregivers.
Being a caregiver is a demanding role, sidelining the individual's own physical and emotional well-being. HomeTouch also includes outreach ideas targeted at caregivers, particularly those who can't leave their loved one's side.
Homebound ministry ideas include the activities and devotionals found in HomeTouch. Your church outreach team can distribute these to bring comfort, Bible study, and a spiritual connection that aid caregivers to stay anchored in their faith and Christian fellowship, all while acknowledging the church's ministry to them.
HomeTouch Ministry's Quarterly Newsletter provides ideas for the church to grow your outreach.
The HomeTouch Quarterly Newsletter, included in your subscription, equips the shut-in ministry team, senior pastor, senior adult minister, or homebound minister with further outreach ideas to enrich the church's connection to its homebound church members. It features timely articles and valuable information you can incorporate into your own church communications, all geared to amplify your church outreach ministry efforts to the senior adult community.
