STEPHEN MINISTRY
God’s Love in ACTION
There are times when every one of us experiences difficulties:
- Loss of a loved one
- Discouragement
- Spiritual crisis
- Cancer
- Hospitalization
- Imprisonment
- Disability
- Divorce
- Rehabilitation
- Job Loss
- Loneliness
- Many other challenges
God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone. That’s why God has brought us together as a congregation – and why we have Stephen Ministry. Stephen Ministries are members of our congregation who have received care giving training to minister to people experiencing a crisis, facing a challenge, or simply going through a tough time. A Stephen Minister will meet with you – privately and confidentially – on a weekly basis to listen, care, encourage, support, and remind you of Christ’s presence in your life.
If you’d like to learn more about Stephen Ministry for yourself, a family member, or a friend, neighbor, coworker, or someone else you know – inside or outside our congregation – contact Rev. Maisch, Kathy Barna, or see one of the Stephen Leaders: Terri Giambarresi, Judy Ricketts, or Sam Warren.
