Stephen Ministry
We offer caring, one-on-one ministry during difficult times in life. The care receiver will be prayed for, listened to, and will receive Christian caring in a confidential manner.
Stephen Ministry is Your Ministry
You play an important role in the Stephen Ministry. Here’s what you can do:
• Pray for God to bring hope and healing to hurting people through Stephen Ministry.
• Accept care from a Stephen Minister during your time of need. God doesn’t expect you to bear your burdens alone.
• Tell a friend, neighbor, coworker, or relative who is hurting about our Stephen Ministry
• If you are a good listener and a compassionate person, prayerfully consider becoming a Stephen Minister. GUMC is a Stephen Ministry Congregation.
Stephen Ministry Training.
Stephen Ministers bring distinctively Christian care to those in need. They use both words and deeds to express Christ’s care for others—listening and comforting, calling on the training they have received, and employing the tools of faith. If this job description fits your personal goals for ministry, please consider becoming a Stephen Minister. A new training class will begin Tuesday, September 7, from 6-8:30 p.m. For more information contact Rev. Steve Atkins at 754-7216, ext. 125, or satkins@germantownumc.org.
