THE TRAINING YOU NEED TO WALK WITH OTHERS
Our mission is to equip the church to walk with those impacted by cancer or another life-altering diagnosis. One of the primary ways we do this is by providing robust, accessible care training for both ministry leaders and lay leaders.
We desire to support the Church as it steps into the sacred work of caring for the sick and suffering the way Christ did—modeling His compassion, His grief, His presence, and His commitment to stay with us no matter the circumstances.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Take Heart hosts both in-person and online care training. Our two in-person Essentials of Care Training events are equivalent and cover the same core material. Our online training focuses on specific care topics, allowing participants to go deeper into particular areas of care.
We hope you’ll join us as we dive deeper into God’s heart for care.
