Stephen Ministry Confidential Christian Care
 

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  Everyone who loves God,

has been born of God and knows God."  1 John 4:11

Our Stephen Ministry program offers you the opportunity to work with a Stephen Minister. A Stephen Minister is a lay-person who feels called by God to help others and has received training in one-on-one confidential listening. If you or someone you love could use this type of support, please call Floyd Lowman (847-1913 x100).

How does this process work?

1. A person, either you or someone you know, needs Christian care.

2. Let the Stephen Ministry Referrals Coordinator know about your need (see The Process Starts below).

3. The Referrals Coordinator meets with the person to talk about Stephen Ministry and how it can help.

4. With the person's permission, the Referrals Coordinator assigns a Stephen Minister to meet weekly with person in need.

The Process Starts...

By filling out one of the blue Stephen Ministry Confidential Care Request cards (found in each pew) and:

1. Place the entire card in the offering plate.

2. Hand it to the pastor or a Stephen Ministry Leader.

3. Place it in the Stephen Ministry box in the Narthex.
