what is Stephen Ministry?
Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.(Galatians 6:2)
Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one caring ministry. Stephen Ministry equips and empowers caregivers—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting.
A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time. The confidential care-giver and care-receiver relationship are usually conducted by weekly visits, but may continue for months or even years.
If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, experiencing a major illness, going through a divorce, job loss, or other life difficulties, please do not hesitate to get connected with a Stephen Minister today.
HOW TO BECOME A STEPHEN MINISTER
Stephen Minister training takes place once a year. We typically meet once a week for about 20-weeks. Our training is led by one of our current Stephen Leaders. Expectations include pre-class reading, devotions, lectures, video presentations, discussions and skills practice.
If you are interested in learning how to become a Stephen Minister please feel free to contact us for more information about our next session.
turning point counseling
We are a Christian faith based professional counseling organization that provides mental health services throughout California. We understand that making the decision to get help can be confusing and can be a challenge for a lot of people. Our team will make the process as smooth as possible and help you see how seeking out counseling can be the best decision you ever made for yourself, your relationship or your family. You can over come your past traumas and pains, you can reconnect with your spouse to communicate better and trust again, or you can learn to manage daily stress, anxiety and depression. Now is the time to make the decision to find hope and healing.
