Do you hear God calling…
The Stephen Ministry Program was re-established here at Community United Methodist Church in 2012. We currently have six Stephen Ministers and three Stephen Leaders. We have walked with church members and non-church members during times of crisis and loss. We provide a confidential and caring Christian presence with no judgment. We listen and pray for our care recievers and let them know that God loves them even when their world is turning upside down. We also bring Communion to shut-ins and visit people in the hospital when our pastoral staff needs some extra help. Our Stephen Ministers are available to be God’s vessel in ministering to spiritual needs of the heart.
Do you hear God calling you to this type of ministry? A Fall training will be available at Mesa Verde UMC. (Date and time TBD) This is fifty hours of valuable training that will equip you in all your life-long relationships, including Stephen Ministry.
Am I qualified? You are, if you have a heart for others that are hurting and are available for meetings at CUMC the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month. Blessings will abound in your life and in those that you serve if you decide to become a Stephen Minister.
