Stephen Ministry
The Stephen Ministry program of lay care-giving comes under the direction of its national office in St. Louis, MO. Those who prepare and serve in this way are lay members of the congregation who receive 50 hours of “training” in various care-giving skills, methods, and resources under the care and direction of Pastor Schleicher. Each commissioned helper is then eligible to be assigned one-to-one for giving care to another person who is faced with a new life challenge or difficulty. The Stephen ministers also participate regularly in sessions of supervision and continuing education so that they can give the most helpful care possible to those who need their support. Please contact the church office (616-738-0100) for names of our Stephen Ministry leaders who can assist you.
