Founded in the compassionate tradition of Arkansas Methodism, Methodist Family Health has remained a ministry in its heart.
Even though we have incorporated as a stand-alone, nonprofit organization, our roots and daily mission are still firmly planted in service.
Pastoral care at Methodist Family Health provides spiritual care for all clients, staff and families across our continuum of care. We offer weekly small groups and bible studies for a variety of age groups as well as one-on-one counseling and pastoral support.
We also collaborate with our mental health and recreational therapists, behavioral instructors and other staff to provide supportive care. And, we engage with volunteers and local churches to offer programs and support to children and teens across Arkansas.
Prayer
Add our kids and their families to your prayer lists at church and remember them as you pray.
Spirituality Services
Share your talents in any way you are led to provide. This can include music, devotionals, games, dramas, snacks – the list is nearly endless. Spirituality Services can be customized to match your mission, gifts and talents.
Come make a child’s day! We need fun-loving and caring groups to spend time with kids and teens at Methodist Family Health. Find more info in our Pastoral Care Volunteers Request (PDF). Ready to volunteer? Fill out our online registration.
Inspirational Resources
Devotionals, journals, adult and children’s bibles, and other books are offered to every child, teen and mother who enters our care. While these resources can strengthen mental health, they are not mandatory. We respect each individual’s beliefs and past experiences, as we ultimately want them to feel safe and loved, not shamed or excluded.
Mission & Volunteer Opportunies
Funding is always needed to help provide for the spiritual needs of our patients. Your congregation or group can pledge to donate funds to purchase bibles and spiritual study materials. You also can organize your church to provide a pancake breakfast, chili cook-off or grill hot dogs for a picnic for any of the kids in our care.
