FFGUMC: A Stephen Ministry Congregation
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministers receive fifty hours of training and participate in monthly continuing education. Care by a Stephen Minister does not replace pastoral care, but is designed to be both supplementary and complementary. Because this caring relationship is highly confidential, persons assigned a Stephen Minister are free to share their deepest hurts, fears and questions of faith without concern of being judged or criticized. Having the freedom to express pain that disrupts us often brings one the hope that leads to healing. Stephen Ministers, however, will be the first to tell you that they are simply the caregivers, as Christ is the cure giver.
