Stephen Ministry
God has blessed us all with unique gifts and talents. With His help He can use your gifts of compassion, patience, faith, mercy, and encouragement to become a Stephen Minister.
members have found comfort and Christian assurance
through the support of our Stephen Ministers. We are
now expanding our one-on-one support to also offer a
Visiting Team. Two of our members—Kim Hake
and Don Gillette—have expressed a desire and a need
to serve those in our congregation who may be hurting
in some way. They have attended training sessions
and are ready to serve together with a Stephen
Minister as part of a Visiting Team. Stephen Ministers,
along with our newly-trained visiting partners,
will be dedicated in all services this weekend. If you,
or someone you know, would like to receive caring
support from this confidential ministry, please contact
Pastor Haller or the church office.

Stephen Ministers are the “After People.” They are ready to come alongside you—or
your friends, neighbors, coworkers, or relatives and provide comfort and
support for as long as needed.
If you sense that God is touching your heart to serve as a Stephen Minister, the first step is to find out more about getting involved.
