Stephen Ministry (See also tab at left)
Stephen Ministry is a ministry through which trained members of the congregation use their special gifts for caring to bring Christ’s love to people in need. Individuals who may benefit include those experiencing divorce, grief, a terminal illness, unemployment or relocation.
It is impossible for our pastor to meet every single need of each member. Stephen Ministry expands the care our church offers by equipping and organizing members to provide Christian care. This gives us a larger pool of people with the gifts, skills and calling to bring Christ’s love to individuals facing stresses and challenges. All caring relationships are confidential. Contact the pastor, 739-7581, Ext. 1.

Men meet on Wednesdays at 7:00 a.m. at the Elm Street House for Bible study and fellowship. This ministry is an opportunity for men to develop and become godly influences in their family and community.
