Stephen Ministry

Stephen MinistryWhether you are looking for a way to use your existing caring and listening skills to serve the community or you would love to further develop your communication and relationship lifeskills, Stephen Ministry training is the place for you. Stephen Ministry is a caring lay ministry that offers the support of presence to individuals who are facing trying times. If your skills or experience have called you to reach out to people in times of trouble, our congregation's Stephen Ministry program may be one great way to practice your love of neighbor.

Stephen Ministry training prepares you to be a useful and caring presence with 50 hours of lifeskills training. Training classes usually begin in the middle of September and new Stephen Ministers are commissioned in the spring. Please contact the church office for more information.
