SCSM provides assistance and training to faith communities so that they can effectively minister to those who are ill dying, bereaved and those who journey with them.
After many years of ministering as a Hospital and Hospice Chaplain, Rev. Danielsen has seen the need for giving more support to the faith communities and their Pastors in this area of pastoral need.
God values life. He has called each of us to have a relationship with Him, but He has also called us to reach out to others. With His eyes He sees many people in physical and spiritual pain who are lonely and weary from illness and from loss, and who need understanding. They need someone to journey with them.
Rev. Danielsen has found in her years working in New Jersey and Virginia that people are not turning to the faith community but to the secular community. SCSM is working to change that.
Too many walked with the Lord for many years, but when illness or loss came into their lives, felt that God and their faith community no longer cared for them. Despair and disappointment caused them to turn their backs on God. Members of the Christian community who are trained to effectively minister to those who are sick and bereaved will make the difference in a life that is at the point of giving up.
Pastors become discouraged because they cannot do all that needs to be done. Spiritual Care Support MinistriesSM is a ministry that can help. As SCSM works with pastors and their church leaders and congregation, God will bring healing.
Chaplain Liz is available for speaking engagements, retreat workshops, training seminars and facilitator bereavement training. Clergy bereavement support groups are provided when needed.
Only eternity will reveal the impact of what this ministry will do.

We have been given a remarkable gift through God and His redemption story. Not only have we received eternal life with our Creator, but we have received courage in Christ that will change the trajectory of our lives and the lives of those around us forever.
