Spiritual Care Session Tool
A confidential, offline instrument for walking with a person through a spiritual care session. Built for ministers, it installs on your phone or tablet and runs with no internet connection.
Best installed on the device you will use in sessions.
Your sessions stay private
Nothing about a person you care for is ever sent over the internet. The tool has no network code in it. Everything you enter lives only on your own device.
Saving a session downloads a file directly to your device. That is a local action, never an upload. This website only ever hands out a blank copy of the tool.
