The Caring ministry at First Presbyterian is set to begin Stephen Minister training in January. At the completion of the training, members will be commissioned as Stephen Ministers. They will then be active Stephen Ministers and providing one-to-one care to individuals experiencing difficulties in life.
"Before becoming a Stephen Leader, I went through the Stephen Minister training myself," says Linda Irvin. "I expected to learn a lot about caregiving, but didn't anticipate the personal and spiritual growth I experienced. Looking back, perhaps what I enjoyed the most was the close Christian community formed with everyone in our training class. Our trainees are in for a really neat experience."
We're definitely part of something big. The impact of Stephen Ministry on our congregation has been tremendous. Our new class will help us touch more lives. If you are interested in learning more about this upcoming class, please contact one of the Stephen Leaders and watch the Weekly Email Updates for more information. Even if you are not interested in becoming a Stephen Minister, you can help us by lifting up the training class in your prayers.
