CARE
Crisis Care
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is available to anyone who may be in crisis or have questions about following Jesus. Please call 714-529-5544 during our reception hours, Monday - Thursday, 9am - 4pm for an appointment or feel free to leave a message anytime and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
If you need to speak with someone after hours, a Fullerton Free shepherd is on call every day to assist with spiritual needs or questions and can be reached by calling the church office at 714-529-5544 and selecting the Shepherd on Call option.
Hospital Visits
We would love to visit and pray with you in the hospital. Trained counselors are available to minister to those who are facing a serious illness or hospitalization. Call the church office during the week, 714-529-5544.
Prayer
Maybe it's because prayer is one of the most practical ways we can support one another that the Bible encourages us to pray continually. If you are not part of a group in the church where people can pray for you, below are groups of people who will count it a privilege to support you in this way. Please submit your prayer request here.
Sunday Prayer
Following the service on Sunday people will be available to pray with you. It may be in response to God’s movement in your life during the worship services, an area of need or concern, perhaps a desire for direction, or desire to move into a new arena of ministry. However we can come alongside you, at the end of the service those leading worship will direct you to the space, and people, who will join with you in your journey through prayer.
The Bridge
To address issues around mental health, we are partnering with The Bridge Academy Collective, which is a community licensed mental health care organization. They are focused on providing competent, culturally relevant, person-centered treatment for people seeking help with mental health concerns, relationship challenges and other disruptions in their lives.
Support Groups

Short-Term Pre-Marriage and Marriage Mentoring
Three private meetings with a seasoned (not “perfect”) Christian couple to review an 18-page report about YOUR marriage. Marriage Mentor couples are not professional therapists, but are certified in the SYMBIS assessment (see SYMBIS.com).
Each spouse privately answers questions online, and a report is created about YOUR marriage. It will help you understand each other’s personality types, be encouraged by the strengths you have, and gain insights into next steps in “growth” areas. Plus, you’ll develop a relationship with your volunteer Marriage Mentors, who have a heart for helping marriages, and are here for you!
- 3 private, confidential sessions
- Not professional therapists, but a seasoned Christian couple
- Mentors are volunteers, and are Certified SYMBIS Facilitators
- SYMBIS+ Assessment - 18 pages about YOUR marriage!

The Third Option is a weekly relationship skills program that is good for anyone in any stage of relationship—dating, engaged, married, or separated. It offers help and hope for those in healthy relationships, as well as those in distressed ones. Both spouses don’t have to attend—it will help even if only one person wants to work on the relationship. This class is open to all—general public, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and extended family. All participants make a commitment to confidentiality within the group.
IN-PERSON MEETINGS: Located on North Campus in Room 120, at 2904 N. Brea Blvd., Fullerton. North Campus is on the northeast corner of Rolling Hills Drive and Brea Blvd., behind the "Cigarette Plaza" stores. No registration needed for the "in-person" class — just show up!
