Stephen Ministry

-
Stephen Ministers are the after people - they walk one on one with someone who has experienced a life disruptor - after the funeral, after the diagnosis, after the job loss, after the divorce, or after a tragedy. Those who are serving as Stephen Ministers are trained to provide one to one confidential Christian care to those individuals who may be experiencing a life crisis for up to a year following the crisis.
Stephen Ministry Is Ready to Provide Care
Do you know someone who needs a one to one Christian caring presence in their life while they face a life crisis or life change? Our Stephen Ministers finished their 50-hour training program and are ready to begin providing care. This ministry provides a listening ear when someone needs support. as they face the death of a loved one, cancer, divorce, a move, terminal illness, or long-term caregiving. If you need support or know someone, please ask them if you can send an email to Stephen Ministry on their behalf. Send an e-mail to Diana Jetter that includes their name and information.

Loneliness Stalks the HouseHer things have long since been given away. Friends say you should go out. “Pull yourself together.” But the hurt won’t stop aching. The pain is still too sharp. A Stephen Minister can be with you while time helps to heal the wounds. If you are interested in receiving care, contact Diana Jetter.
