Covenant of Churches Expanding
Faith-Based Services
 Saint
Barnabas Hospice and Palliative Care Center maintains a satellite
faith-based program at Bethany Baptist Church in Newark.
Our experience has taught us that many who live in the inner
city are unaware of hospice services, though many could benefit
from the services and support. Our Covenant of Churches program,
initially funded by a grant from the Healthcare Foundation
of New Jersey, aims to educate and raise awareness of end
of life and related health issues for the benefit of the
greater Newark’s multicultural and diverse population
by:
- Volunteer training and support group program at Bethany
Baptist Church and other area churches.
- Providing outreach programs for clergy serving the greater
Newark Community.
- Providing a variety of support programs at churches and
locations in the area.
Our volunteer program prepares individuals to offer respite
for caregivers; to provide companionship to patients in the
home, the hospital or nursing home; to run errands and provide
transportation for both patients and their caregivers. In
addition, volunteers are always needed for our inpatient
unit located at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center on Lyons
Avenue, Newark.
