Immediate Care

Pastor On-Call

If you are in crisis and feel you are in need of immediate care or counseling, it may be best for you to call 911 (for emergencies) or contact one of our professional counselors directly. If this is a matter that one of our pastors should be contacted first, please call 704.948.3232 and ask to speak with a Pastor on Call. We will do our best to promptly put you in contact with someone who can meet your urgent needs. Sometimes that will be one of our ordained pastors and other times that may be one of our trained pastoral team members. Please note that this care is available specifically to those who call Lake Forest Church their spiritual home.

Hospital Team

Our hospital team partners with LFC pastoral staff to care for members of our church family who would appreciate words of encouragement and prayer during hospitalization or in the midst of other medical issues. Please contact Suzanne Powell to request a visit from our Hospital Team.

Meals Ministry

Our Meals Ministry Team works to provide meals to those who have recently experienced surgery, a new baby, death or hospitalization.  If you would like to make a request for meals for yourself or another member of our church family, please contact Suzanne Powell.
