Central United Methodist Church

Stephen Ministry involves specifically trained lay members who work with the pastor in the ministry of Christians care giving and support for people who are facing various crises in their lives, such as terminal illness, grief, hospitalization, job crisis, spiritual crisis, separation, divorce, birth, adoption, or disabilities- people needing the support of a Christian friend.

Stephen Ministers are lay people who know how to love, care for, affirm, celebrate and pray with others while trusting in God for wholeness and healing.  Through one-on-one contacts weekly, they seek to impart hope when all seems hopeless, friendship when one feels isolated, and courage to those who are making plans for the future.
