Stephen Ministry Caregiver Training


WHAT IS STEPHEN MINISTRY?

Stephen Ministry offers a proven and effective way to organize, equip, and supervise a team of congregation members within Hope Fellowship Church, called Stephen Ministers, to provide high-quality, one-to-one Christ-centered care to people experiencing life difficulties. 

WHAT IS A STEPHEN MINISTER?

Stephen Ministers are lay congregation members trained to provide one-to-one care to those experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation. Stephen Ministers come from all walks of life, but they all share a passion for bringing Christ’s love and care to people during a time of need.
