Stephen Ministry

 

God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone. That’s why God has brought us together as a congregation

In moments of sorrow when your heart feels heavy, remember that Psalm 34:18 reassures us that the Lord is intimately close to the brokenhearted, offering comfort and a peace that transcends all understanding, as He gently wraps His loving embrace around those of us who are crushed in spirit.

Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Hospice Care

As hospice care continues to evolve, it's natural to have questions or concerns about this important healthcare option. Whether you or someone close to you is considering hospice care, understanding the latest advancements and practices can provide reassurance and clarity during a challenging time. Seeking information from qualified professionals can help navigate the complexities of hospice care and ensure that both patients and their loved ones receive the support and resources they need. If you have any questions about hospice care this event is right for you.

On Sunday, March 2, Stephen Ministry will host a patient care manager from Queen City Hospice to share her insight about Hospice care with us. We will meet at 11:00 am in the Armstrong Room for a short presentation and plenty of time for questions.

Our Stephen Ministry is dedicated to providing educational opportunities to the community on challenging yet essential life topics. By engaging with your church community, you can gain valuable insights and support in a comfortable environment. If you wish to speak with a Stephen Minister, you can easily identify them by their blue name badges on Sunday mornings.

We are here to help and support you through difficult conversations and experiences.


 Stephen Ministers
Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who have received 50 hours of training to minister to people experiencing a crisis or going through a difficult time in life. A Stephen Minister provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. 
Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education.
