Help and Pastoral Support

Myrtle House Community Church is full of people who genuinely want to help.

We won’t lecture you or judge you. We’ll listen, pray with you if you’d like, and stand alongside you as you find the support you need — whether that’s access to food and clothing, help with debt, or support for your mental health.

We are a growing community seeking to follow the example of Jesus: welcoming everyone without discrimination, offering compassion without judgement, and expecting nothing in return.

This page is here to help you find support at Myrtle House Community Church and to guide you towards trusted organisations that can offer specialist help beyond the life of the church.

Much of our pastoral care happens through our Communities — small, midweek groups where people gather to read the Bible, pray together, and walk through everyday joys and challenges side by side. These groups are at the heart of our church family.

Your Community leader is there to listen, pray with you, and help you take next steps, including linking you with our pastoral team or supporting you through a counselling referral where needed.
