Stephen Ministers

Stephen Ministers

Bringing Christ’s healing love to people who are hurting

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, separation, unemployment, chronic or terminal illness, relocation, or spiritual crisis.  Stephen Minister training is a Christ-centered experience that equips participants with essential caring and relating skills. Trainees learn how to listen to, care for, and walk with those going through difficult times in life.  Stephen Ministers are trained by their congregation’s Stephen Leaders using resources from Stephen Ministries-St. Louis. The training we provide, which takes place at Nativity, not only teaches trainees to provide high-quality care for people who are hurting, but equips you with relational skills you can apply to all aspects of your life, and deepens your faith as the Holy Spirit fashions you into a Christ-centered caregiver. 

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.   If you have gifts for caring, encouraging, and listening, and have a desire to use these gift to serve others while experiencing profound spiritual growth, call or email about becoming a part of this exciting ministry.  

We need more Stephen Ministers!

Confidential support for emotional and spiritual struggles

Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to people in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.  Stephen Ministry provides emotional and spiritual care when faced with a crisis or difficulty such as:  loss of a loved one, hospitalization, divorce or separation, loneliness or discouragement, spiritual crisis, unemployment or job crisis, a terminal illness, incarceration, aging, changing family dynamics (birth, adoption, miscarriage, infertility), a chronic illness, relocation, recovery after accident or disaster, or other life challenges.  Stephen Ministers meet weekly with their care receivers for around an hour to listen, care, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support for the person.  Caring relationships last for as long as the person’s need persists.  If you are in need of emotional or spiritual support, please contact our confidential helpline below.
