Stephen Ministry

On February 29, 2004, Central consecrated the Stephen Ministry. It is a program that equips lay persons to provide distinctively Christian one-to-one care to those who are experiencing all kinds of life needs and circumstances, both in our congregation and community.

There are times when each of us needs the care of another person, a Christian friend, a Stephen Minister! These needs include but are not limited to...

  • the hospitalized
  • the terminally ill and their families
  • people moving into and out of our community
  • those grieving a death or serious loss
  • and many other instances that are caused by a crisis
Please contact the church office if you are interested in helping in this vital ministry or if you have a need that requires assistance from of our Stephen Ministers.
