Title: Remembered by Grace: Dementia Ministry at Shepherd's Light Church (Chattanooga, TN)
Overview:
Shepherd’s Light Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, has developed a heartfelt ministry for seniors affected by dementia and memory loss. Called Remembered by Grace, this program affirms the dignity of every person, even as memory fades, and ensures they are seen, known, and loved by their church family and by God.
Ministry Highlights:
-
Memory Worship Services: Short, simplified services held in calm, familiar environments with familiar hymns, Scripture readings, and simple messages.
-
Caregiver Support Groups: Monthly gatherings for those caring for loved ones with dementia, offering emotional support, prayer, and practical resources.
-
Music and Memory Therapy: Hymns and gospel songs are used to stir emotional and spiritual connection in those with memory loss.
-
Home Care Ministry: Volunteers trained in dementia care visit members at home or care facilities to provide companionship, prayer, and spiritual encouragement.
Impact:
This ministry has brought peace and comfort to families navigating dementia. Loved ones are reassured that their spiritual identity remains intact, even when cognitive functions diminish. The church has become a place of grace, gentleness, and genuine memory of God’s love.
Why It Matters:
The gospel reaches beyond memory. Remembered by Grace reminds us that God never forgets His children—and neither should we. Dementia care in the church is a reflection of Christ’s unwavering love for the weak and vulnerable.
