Stephen Ministry

    Wondering who this Stephen is that everyone keeps talking about? Read Acts 6 to meet him!

    Wondering who this Stephen is that everyone keeps talking about? Read Acts 6 to meet him! Generations later, his legacy inspired a ministry that stretches across the globe. A Stephen Minister is a caregiver trained to provide one-to-one, Christ-centered care to hurting people. This ministry is a great way we share the love of Jesus by supporting individuals going through especially challenging times in life, and who welcome a listening ear, loving presence, and friend in Christ. This past year, we trained several new caregivers for three different churches, including Summit Worship Center and Peace Lutheran Church before we had to start sheltering in place. Bethany Stephen Ministers have continued to meet with care receivers every week through this pandemic, by phone, zoom, or socially distancing in person. We have Stephen Ministers available now to walk with you in spirit and compassion. Check out the link or be in touch with Pastor Wynn to connect in this healing ministry. Consider also if you are being called to serve as a caregiver and talk with Pastor Wynn to learn more!
