Gathering with hope, equipping in faith, and walking in love.
Gathering with hope, equipping in faith, and walking in love.
We seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus: to visit the lonely, provide compassionate care for the elderly, minister to the sick, and offer comfort and hope to those experiencing grief and loss.
Who We Serve:
Every person is created in the image of God and deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and to know that they are seen, known and loved. Those who are aging, sick, lonely, and in the midst of grief often need this reminder even more. While not limited to, much of our ministry involves seniors and those in the final stages of life.
Why:
Jesus has given us the Great Commandment: LOVE, and the Great Commission, calling his disciples to Go and Make Disciples in Matthew 28:18-20.
Every person needs to be reminded that they are loved and created with a purpose and that they are not alone.
What We Do:
We bring church into assisted living facilities and nursing homes where many are lonely and in need of community and spiritual support. We listen to and provide counsel for the hurting and those in need of hope. We care for the widow and provide food for the hungry (spiritually and physically!). We visit the sick in hospitals and houses. We teach the Word of God at the parks and in the streets. We are always ready to give an answer for the HOPE that we have in Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:15).

Ahava Pathways is an equipping ministry. Jesus said, "Feed my sheep" (John 21:17) and to "love one another" (John 13:34-35). The Church has a responsibility to equip others to live out their faith through acts of love, with Jesus Christ as our example.
Christine Carson
Director of Pastoral Care
As a chaplain and pastor in my community, I experience the value of intentional presence daily. As Director of Ahava Pathways, I am passionate about gathering with hope and equipping others to walk pathways of love and purpose with intentionality, to bring the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a world so desperately in need of it.
I am grateful for the support and partnership of those who pray, give, and serve alongside me in this ministry. The work I do is made possible by the generous gifts of those who partner with me on God's mission to proclaim the good news (Is.61:1), to set the lonely in families (Ps.68:6), to care for widows (Jm.1:27), and to comfort those who mourn (Is.61:2). I could not do this without you!
I am passionate about teaching the Word of God as I go, and have taught in a variety of settings: children, youth, adults and seniors. I have spoken at church settings, schools, parks, special events, and small groups. It is an honor and privilege to teach the Word of God! Please contact me through e-mail for speaking requests.
