Stephen Ministry is God's Love In ACTION
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28 There are times when every one of us experiences difficulties -
- loss of a loved one - spiritual crisis - cancer - hospitalization - imprisonment - disability - discouragement - divorce - rehabilitation - job loss - loneliness - and 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 Ministers are members of our congregation who have received 50 hours of caregiving 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. View the Stephen Ministry feature on the PBS Web site, where you'll also find several bonus features--including a nine-minute interview with Stephen Ministries' founder and executive director, Kenneth C. Haugk. 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 - talk with Pastor David Dressel or Dian Silvey, Ministry Assistant or one of our Stephen Leaders: Betsy Seeley, Krista Haven or Brad Garmon.
