Emotional and Spiritual Support

In Groups

When life shows its rough side, your heart gets hurt. Especially in these times, you need people in your life you can trust and who are there for you. Jesus says in Matthew 18:20: “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” In Small Groups and Teams, the smallest unit of our church, you experience exactly this, because Jesus works powerfully in community.

Prayer-Based Pastoral Care

Are you part of a Small Group or a Team at ICF Zurich or an ICF Zurich location? Then our pastoral care offering is just right for you. If you are not part of a Small Group or a Team, we refer you to external services.

Change will happen when you don’t close your eyes to the truth, put your hope in God, and take personal responsibility. Our trained team supports you on specific occasions in emotional or spiritual challenges.

Why Pastoral Care is for You

In pastoral care, you will be set free from distress, burdens, and bondages. The goal is that, with God’s help, you further develop a sustainable foundation of faith and can lead a self-responsible life in full strength and power—whether for the first time or once again.

Pastoral care can be helpful in the following complex and difficult life situations:

  • Burnout Symptoms
  • Addiction
  • Abuse
  • Feeling Overwhelmed in Life
  • Coping with the Past
  • Traumatic Experiences like Suicide or Death
  • Complex Family Situations like Blended Families

How We Support You

Prayer-Based Pastoral Care:
We work in a team of 1–2 pastoral counselors and an intercessory prayer team. The prayer-based pastoral care takes place at the ICF Center in The Hall in Dübendorf.

We collaborate with various external counselors, doctors, therapists, and institutions. External counselors are subject to a fee.
