One to One Care

A confidential ministry that pairs trained Care Givers with Care Recipients to provide long-term support.

If you are going through a rough time — whether because of job loss, divorce, loneliness, cancer, death of a loved one or something else — please consider asking us for your own One to One Care Giver. These supervised individuals will meet with you privately and confidentially on a weekly basis to listen, care, encourage, support, and remind you of Christ’s presence in your life.

What is one to One Care?

Sometimes referred to as the Stephen Ministry, One to One Care is a confidential, personal, care ministry that is here to help you in your time of need.

One to One Care Givers are congregation members trained by Eastbrook Church to offer care to people who are hurting. A Care Giver typically has one Care Receiver at a time and meets with that person once a week for about an hour.

Care Receivers are individuals in the congregation or community who are going through a crisis or life difficulty. Potential care receivers first meet with a pastor or leader, who assesses their needs for care and matches them with a Care Giver. The caring relationship lasts for as long as the need persists.

If you would like to receive care from a One to One Care Giver, contact Wildred Dolgner for women (wdolgner@gmail.com) or Kevin Eggert for men (eggertkevin@yahoo.com).

“Although my needs changed as I went from wife to caregiver to widow, my Care Giver’s love and support remained a constant. She was there at every stage of my journey, helping me through some of the most difficult moments of my life—so I could begin to heal.”
Susan

“After the death of my mom, I needed someone who would listen—even to the same stories over and over—and who wouldn’t be afraid to say her name or bring up her memory. That’s who my Care Giver was, and I don’t know how I would have gotten through it without her.”
Molly

“My Care Giver listens—really listens. He doesn’t judge me or tell me what to do but walks side by side with me. I never realized how helpful and healing that can be. With his care and support, I’m making it through.”
Brian

“When things seemed like too much to handle, my Care Giver brought normalcy and calm. With him by my side, I knew I could make it from one week to the next. I could feel God’s presence when my Care Giver was there.”
James

“When I was with my Care Giver, I felt Jesus was with me. I saw the love of God in her eyes while we talked and prayed, and it would fill me with such comfort and peace. It helped me know that I could make it through.
Ashley

“My Care Giver loves me, listens to me, cares for me, prays for me, supports me, and gives me a safe, confidential relationship where I can totally share my heart. No matter how much I have to unload on her, she listens to whatever is going on.”
Celeste

“My Care Giver was a consistent presence walking with me throughout my divorce. He would always show up, and most impor- tantly, he refused to give up on me. I’ll forever be grateful for the way he changed my life.”
Ralph

“When someone you love is terminally ill, people often pull back because they’re scared and don’t know what to say. But my Care Giver stood with me through it all—listening, talking, and helping me on the journey. It was so reassuring to know he was by my side.”
Andrew

“My Care Giver’s weekly visits became an anchor in my life—something I could rely on when everything else was so uncertain. She was a steady reminder of God’s presence, helping me know I was never alone.”
