Stephen Ministry

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

• Stephen Leaders are lay leaders, church staff, and pastors trained by Stephen Ministries St. Louis to direct their congregation’s Stephen Ministry.

• Stephen Ministers are lay congregation members trained by their Stephen Leaders to provide care to hurting individuals.

• Care receivers are people who meet with a Stephen Minister to receive care while experiencing a difficult time in life.

The name Stephen Ministry comes from Stephen, one of the first laypeople commissioned by the Apostles to provide caring ministry to those in need (Acts 6:1–7).

(This option will be available when the first group of Stephen ministers is fully trained.)
