Bethel Church has trained Stephen Ministers leading Stephen Ministry for our congregation.
Stephen Ministry provides congregations with the structure, training and resources to set up and administer a complete system for a caring ministry in the congregation. In Stephen Ministry congregations, caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to those who are grieving, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, and others may be facing a crisis or life challenge. Stephen Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.
