Stephen Ministry
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV)
Resurrection Evangelical Lutheran Church has a total of 6 trained Stephen Ministers and 2 trained Stephen Leaders. This ministry pairs a care receiver with a Stephen Minister who has received extensive training and preparation for caring ministry. Stephen Ministers have studied and practiced skills in areas such as dealing with feelings, crisis intervention, asserting oneself with gentleness and firmness, and numerous other topics to prepare them to help people who are experiencing problems in their lives.
