What is the Carecore?  Hope's Carecore consists of trained Care Ministers who provide Christian support and spiritual guidance to people who are in need. There is no cost for the 25 hours of mandatory training. Each session concludes with a ceremony to mark the commissioning of the ministers for service.

Care Ministers are paired with Care Receivers on a one-to-one basis,
matching men with men and women with women. Receivers may be
experiencing a variety of challenges such as loss of a job, grief, loneliness,
depression, health concerns or other stresses.  Each pairing is always kept
confidential and may be short or long-term.

An expanding part of the Carecore ministry is monthly worship services at assisted
living facilities in the metro area. We currently have monthly worship services
at Courtyard Estates in Bondurant and Legacy Pointe in Waukee. We also
encourage families and friends of the residents to attend.

Care Ministers meet once a month in small groups for mutual support, spiritual
encouragement and continuing education opportunities. Annual retreats and
fellowship gatherings will provide growth, renewal and of course, fun!
