Stephen ministry
Stephen Ministry offers a proven and effective way to organize, equip, and supervise a team of congregation members—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people in the congregation and the community experiencing life difficulties.
STEPHEN MINISTRY TRAINING
"Stephen Ministry training taught me how to become a much better listener. It trained me to truly to listen to someone instead of concerning myself with my response. When my focus is on listening, it becomes about that person, not about how I can add to their story."
Tish Lynch, Stephen Minister
