Stephen Ministry

What is a Stephen Minister?

Stephen Ministers are trained members of the congregation who offer one-to-one care for individuals walking through life’s challenges, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation. They come from many different backgrounds but share a common calling: to extend Christ’s love and compassion to those in need.

How Do I Become a Stephen Minister?

Stephen Minister training is a Christ-centered program designed to equip participants with practical skills for caring and building meaningful relationships. Through the training, individuals learn how to listen compassionately, offer support, and walk alongside those experiencing life’s challenges.

Each Stephen Minister is trained within their congregation by certified Stephen Leaders, using trusted materials from Stephen Ministries in St. Louis. This comprehensive preparation ensures they can offer consistent, high-quality care to those in need of comfort and encouragement.

The next Stephen Minster training will be in Spring of 2026. If you’re interested in becoming a Stephen Minister, please contact the church office to leave your name and telephone number and a Stephen Leader will get back to you.
