      People in every community are lonely, sick, hurting and in need of good supportive care.

      AFCNA uses biblical responses and research based practice to equip you to effectively and compassionately care for one another in ways that empower and enable everyone to thrive.


      Please join us for a one day deep dive into 4 key themes we will explore together:

      o  Why your care needs to be compassionate

      o  Who we care for – the ‘whole’ person

      o  How care can be practical and effective

      o  What care activities are most helpful

      Q&A discussion & practice included


      Become the care you want to see in your community

      This course is designed for any person who wants to care more effectively and compassionately for the people in their life and in their community.
