Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministers are congregation members trained by their Stephen Leaders (Steve Keeler and Jodie Linn) to offer care to people who are hurting. A Stephen Minister typically has one care receiver at a time and meets with that person once a week for about an hour.
Care receivers are individuals in the congregation or community who are going through a crisis or life difficulty. Potential care receivers first meet with a pastor or Stephen Leader, who assesses their needs for care and matches them with a Stephen Minister. The caring relationship lasts for as long as the need persists.
This ministry of care is available to all members and friends of the church.

“Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return.” For more than 1500 years, Christians have used these words to mark the day as they receive a sign of the cross on their foreheads. A 40-day journey begins as we follow Jesus into the desert where he was led by the Spirit.
