Stephen Ministry

“Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” -Galatians 6:2

Would you like to be a part of a ministry that makes a real difference in others’ lives when they need it most – and in your own? Consider becoming a Stephen Minister!

Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who provide one-to-one caring ministry to people experiencing grief, divorce, loneliness, job loss, hospitalization, and many other life difficulties.

Stephen Minister training equips you to do an excellent job as a Stephen Minister as well as to improve the quality of all your relationships.

Topics include:

• listening
• confidentiality
• providing Christian care
• maintaining boundaries
• crisis theory and practice

If you’d like to learn more about how to become a Stephen Minister – talk with Stephen Leaders, Barb Hartzell & Barb Lamb, or Pastor Grube.

The PBS “Religion & Ethics” news show recently aired an eight-minute feature that vividly describes how Stephen Ministry is changing lives in thousands of congregations.  You can watch the video online on the PBS web site.  CLICK HERE to watch the video.
