How do I get started with a Stephen Minister?

1. A person - either you, a relative, or a friend - is hurting and in need of Christian care.
2. The Stephen Ministry Referrals Coordinator learns about this need for care from a pastor, a friend, or from the person in need of care and only after the person in need has granted permission.
3. The Referrals Coordinator meets with the person to talk about Stephen Ministry.
4. With the person’s permission, the Referrals Coordinator assigns a Stephen Minister to meet on a weekly basis with that person.
5. The Stephen Minister provides distinctively Christian and strictly confidential care.

Stephen Ministry looking for new Ministers

A Stephen Minister is a child of God who walks beside an individual who is hurting, and a caring Christian friend who takes the time to really listen. A 50-hour training class will begin around the first of October. Contact the administrator (above) or one of the pastors.
