St. Paul's is enrolled in the Stephen Series, a distinctively Christian caring ministry. Clergy and laity work together in this ministry to provide quality one-to-one care that meets the needs of people experiencing a wide range of life circumstances, situations and crises.
A Stephen Minister is a lay person selected, trained and supervised to provide effective Christian care to others. He/she participates in 50 hours of initial training, a 2 year commitment of one hour per week of care for a care receiver, and 2 meetings each month (5 hours total) for supervision and support. A Stephen minister provides confidential one-to-one ministry as a trained, caring Christian to another in their time of need. This caring relationship is arranged by leaders upon application and is performed under the guidance and supervision of Stephen Ministry leaders. Our Stephen Ministers serve all individuals in the greater Cheney area.
