STEPHEN MINISTRY

Who are Stephen Ministers?

Stephen Ministers are spiritually mature members of our congregation, many of whom have experienced and overcome difficulties in their own lives. Because of God’s grace and the love of people who have helped them heal, they have been called to serve others with "distinctively Christian care" in their time of need. After committing to two years of service and completing 50 hours of training, a Stephen Minister is commissioned by church leadership then assigned care receivers – one at a time – who have been referred. Men care for men; women care for women. They attend a peer supervision group twice a month for support, accountability and guidance. They also attend continuing education classes to enhance their caregiving skills and keep their ministry relevant.
