Consider Stephen Ministry training...
Are you ready for a new step in your faith journey?
Are you feeling called to a care-giving ministry?
 
If you have a heart for those who are experiencing difficult times, prayerfully consider Stephen Ministry. You’ll grow in compassion, empathy and faith; our church will grow in strength and faith as Stephen Ministers journey alongside those needing some extra care and spiritual support.
