Compassion is simply seeing someone’s need and wanting to help.

“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

|   Galatians 6:2   |

What Is Compassion Care?

 

The Latin root of compassion, ‘compati,’ means to “suffer with.” Compassion means someone else’s heartbreak becomes your suffering. True compassion changes the way we live!

The gift of compassion moves people to action on behalf of those in need. Compassion is not simply caring about others or asking “Should I help?” but saying or focusing on “How can I help?”

Throughout scripture, our Lord Jesus Christ felt compassion on people, healing them and comforting them. Compassion Care Ministry exists to be the “hands and feet of Jesus” to the local body of Christ at Compassion Church in Radford, Virginia.

The purpose of Compassion Cares Ministry is to ensure that all those within the congregation are cared for in the event of a physical, emotional, or spiritual crisis in their life that would require special care from the team or pastoral staff.
