Stephen Ministry Training
CommunityWe are a community that cares about one another. We pray for one another. We support one another. At our best, we visit with one another and listen to one another hearing how God is at work in each others lives and in the life of our community as a whole.
Sometimes you may feel very equipped to do the listening when a community member is experiencing life difficulties. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed and not sure where to begin though you want to be a healing and listening presence for another.What is a Stephen Minister?
