We care about our congregants who are bereaved, sick, homebound, hospitalized, imprisoned, or victims of fire, accidents, or in need of food and clothing assistance. Teams of deacons, associate ministers, and other ministries rotate monthly to make phone calls, and/or visits when appropriate, to provide follow-up care. To receive care from the Congregational Care Ministry, call the church office (502) 491-8301; or send a email to care@burnettavebapt.com. Give your name and contact information, and that of the individual needing care, if different. Briefly explain the situation, i.e., having/had surgery, sick/hospitalized, had accident/injury, etc. In person, you may also complete a Congregational Care Card (located in the foyer) and submit it to the church office.
In the event of death of a member of Burnett Avenue, or a death in a member’s immediate family (spouse, child, parent, or sibling), please notify the Pastor, and the church office as soon as possible. Pastor Shull desires to walk with you through the funeral planning process, and church office personnel are available to assist as well.
Visitations and funeral services of deceased members may be held at the church, and must be scheduled in accordance with the church calendar and the schedule of your chosen funeral home. A catered meal is provided by the church to the family of deceased members, and coordinated with the church office.
Members of Burnett Avenue who experience death of an immediate family member should contact the church office with pertinent information and funeral arrangements, so that proper condolences may be sent.
Funeral services for persons outside the Burnett Avenue Church membership may be held at the church on a case-by-case basis, and incur fees for facility usage, media, and other services, as needed.
All couples desiring Pastor Shull to officiate their wedding ceremony are required to complete pre-marital counseling. The church provides a free 7-week Pre-marriage Seminar, once or twice per year. Counseling provided by an outside Licensed Marriage/Family Therapist is acceptable.
Weddings held at Burnett Avenue must be scheduled through the church office at least six (6) weeks in advance. For specific guidelines and procedures, couples should consult Burnett Avenue’s Wedding Handbook.
We believe babies are gifts from God to your families and to our church, thus we consider it an honor and privilege to ask God’s special blessings upon their lives in the presence of the congregation. Baby dedications are generally scheduled on the second Sunday of a given month. Parents must call the church office to schedule their child’s dedication, no later than the first Monday of the desired month.
