CARE MINISTRIES
PASTOR VINNIE CAPPETTA, COUNSELOR IN RESIDENCE
God designed the church to be a healing community—where people can experience love, grace, care and support in the context of relationships. Jesus doesn’t wait for us “have it all together” – He seeks us, finds us and saves us when our lives are a mess (Romans 5:8). At Crossroads, we seek to embody the healing love of Christ to those who are hurting. Pastor Vinnie is a licensed counselor who serves as our Counselor in Residence. If you need short-term counseling, pastoral care, or a referral, please contact Pastor Vinnie or call his office, 508.293.1611.
