_________________________
Description of Stephen Ministry
Pastors will always be on the front lines of care as first-responders, but there are normally many more on-going care needs than pastors can effectively meet by themselves. Stephen Ministry provides a biblical solution; this international program equips lay persons to provide distinctively Christian, confidential, one-on-one care to others experiencing life crises or difficulties.
Stephen Ministers serving in this church-commissioned role are members of CommPres, are carefully selected, and received 50+ hours of training. They attend to their care-receivers through effective listening skills, prayer, and encouragement — all within a safe, confidential environment. The names of care-receivers are never mentioned. Ministers generally meet with care-receivers about an hour a week, for as long as there is a need. They also meet twice monthly for supervision, support and continuing education. Stephen Ministers make a two-year commitment to the program.
Potential Care-Receivers Are People Who Are . . .
- lonely
- struggling with parenting
- grieving the loss of a loved one
- separated or in the process of divorce
- terminally ill, and their families
- experiencing job loss or financial setbacks
- experiencing crisis situations
- facing legal difficulties
- struggling with their faith
- separated from family
- recovering substance abusers
- experiencing hurt from abuse
- adjusting to a life-changing situation: retirement, stay-at-home mom, new parent, empty nester, college graduate, etc.
What Do Stephen Ministers Do?
- Pray
- Listen
- Explore feelings
- Share Christ’s love
- Maintain confidentiality
- Attend to the care-giving process and leave the results to God
- Walk with people who are journeying to wholeness
- Serve in this ministry of presence and companionship
Stephen Ministers do not “fix” their care-receivers. Rather, they are committed Christ-Followers who provide confidential, one-to-one, Christian care to people who are experiencing a difficult time. Stephen Ministers are the Care-Givers and Christ is the Cure-Giver.
