Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry

Audubon Park United Methodist Church has an active Stephen Ministry program. The Stephen Ministers are church members who have completed 50 hours of initial training before they are commissioned. This training, along with continuing education and supervision, prepares them to help others through situations such as divorce, grief (loss of a family member in death), hospitalization, loss of a job, or other difficult stresses in life. We nowhave 10 Stephen Ministers available to serve our congregation.

Thousands of congregations representing many denominations, from all over the U.S. and Canada, and in 20 other countries, are using the Stephen Ministry program to enhance "Christ Caring for People through People". The national web site is: www.stephenministries.org. For local information at the church, please call 509-325-4541.

The Stephen Ministry referral leader is Barbara White. Contact her, through the church office, if you or someone you know could use a Stephen Minister.
