Becoming a Stephen Minister

                                         Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will
                                                    fulfill the law of Christ.  
   Galatians 6:2
 
Stephen Ministers are individuals who are trained and commissioned to provide one-to-one ministry to people in crisis or with other needs for care.
 
Stephen Ministers receive 50 hours of training in Christian caregiving, including general topics such as listening, feelings, boundaries, assertiveness, and using Christian resources in caregiving. In addition, their training covers specialized topics such as ministering to the divorced, hospitalized, bereaved, aging, and more.
 
They commit to an hour a week. In addition, they participate in a Supervision Group and continuing education twice a month throughout their terms of service in order to continue giving effective Christian care to others.
