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 support during the year following such an event.

We are in the process of developing this ministry.  The first step was to train our Stepen Leaders the ones who will serve by training the Stepen Ministers.  This was accomplished during the week of July 16 through July 21, 2018.

The next phase will be to recruit, interview, and select Stephen Ministers.  This will begin Fall 2018.  Mid-winter 2019 we will begin the 50 hours of training required to become a Stephen Minister.  Once this is completed, we will be ready to provide one to one confidential Christian care to those individuals who may be experiencing a life crisis.  The Stephen minister will walk alongside in faith the care reciever.

If you are interested in serving in this ministry, please contact the pastoral associate.
