At Narara Valley Baptist Church, we love to value people and care for them, reflecting God’s love for all. United in our love for Christ, our ministries work towards holistically building the individual, their relationships, and walking with them in their spiritual journey.

From time to time, everybody needs a helping hand and as the Pastoral Care Team, this is our heart!  Whether you are experiencing a crisis, or you would just like to talk to someone, our Pastoral Care Team
is available to help, support, encourage and pray with you.

If we can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to contact our Pastoral Care Pastor Bryan Shirley at the church office on 4328 5550 or  .
