What Is Stephen Ministry?
The greatest commandment is to love one another. As a Christian community there is a group of people who do just that. They are the hands and feet of Jesus who walk beside those in the congregation who are hurting. They go through 50 hours of training and commit to two years of service in providing prayer, visitation and support.
They are not counselors or advisors, but listeners. The heart of Stephen Ministry is confidentiality. No one knows beyond the Stephen Leaders and the Stephen Minister themselves who they are serving. If you or someone you know is interested in being served by a Stephen Minister, please contact Larry Montgomery at 821-5538 (cell), 946-0270 (home) or lmontgomery17@coxnet.
If you’re interested in becoming a
Stephen Minister, please contact Larry. Our next 50 hours training session
is scheduled to commence on January 4, 2010.
