Goals & Purpose: Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who provide one-on-one caring ministry to people experinecing grief, loss, divorce, hospitalization, and many other life difficulties. After training, you will be matched with someone in need of care (care receiver). You will meet with that person once a week to listen, encourage, pray and reflect Christ's presence in his or her life. Your Stephen Ministry skills can enhance relationships in other areas of your life as well.

Responsibilities: Weekly meetings with care receiver; bi-monthly attendance at Stephen Ministry meetings to support other Stephen Ministers.

Time Commitment: 50 hours (usually once a week for 3 hours).
