Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry Leader 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. For more information contact Rev. Gail Bruno at 754-7216, ext. 125, or bruno@germantownumc.org.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.
