How To Become a Stephen Minister

A Stephen Minister is a caring Christian lay person who, on a one-to-one basis, listens, understands, accepts, and prays for and with a care receiver who is working through a crisis or tough time. A potential Stephen Minister will receive 50 hours of training, continue to meet twice a month for supervision and continuing education and make an initial commitment of two years. After training, the Stephen Minister will meet with an assigned care receiver an average of one hour per week. If you are interested in becoming a Stephen Minister, please contact Joyce Bunger through the Church office at 402-391-0350. You may reach her by e-mail, or speak to one of the Ministers.

Referral

You can refer yourself, a friend, neighbor, relative or anyone else you know who is going through a difficult time so that special care can be given when it is needed the most. Just remember if you are referring someone else, obtain their permission before you give their name. Contact Connie Eberhart through the Church office at 402-391-0350. You may reach her by e-mail, or speak to one of the Ministers.
