Bethlehem Lutheran Church is a Stephen Ministry Church.  Through our Stephen Ministers, we are able to offer care to people experiencing a wide range of life`s challenges.  Some of these are:

 

Grief                                       Spiritual Struggles

 

Divorce                                  Family and relationship issues

 

Job Loss                                Being a family caregiver

 

Medical Crises                     And many other needs for care

 

The Benefits of Stephen Ministry:

 

Pastors…have a team of trained lay caregivers to help them in handling the caregiving needs of the congregation.

 

Laypeople…are equipped for meaningful ministry that uses their spiritual gifts to provide invaluable care to those who are suffering.

 

Hurting people…receive much needed emotional and spiritual support in the midst of life’s struggles.

 

Stephen Ministers DO NOT give advice or make diagnoses; THEY DO offer care, comfort, and spiritual support, (prayer), by being with their care receivers an hour each week.
