New Stephen Minister training class begins at the end of January. The training involves 50 hrs meeting once a week from late January through May. If you feel that you are a good listener and willing to wak with people through different issues in their lives then consider becoming a Stephen Minister. Please call the church office if you are interested.
Those who go through the Stephen ministry training can become a part of the Heroes Care Program. This program combines Steven Ministry with Operation Home Front working with our military men and women and their families. We provide emotional support by having someone they can talk to and can also arrange for tangible resources such as providing diapers and formula for babies, food as well as information on referrals. If you are already a Stephen minister or take the upcoming training, you can become a part of the Heroes Program.
