Stephen Ministry

Stephen Minister Trainees

The Stephen MInistry at MIddle is a structured one-to-one lay caring ministry.  Stephen Ministers work with pastors to care for people in need.  Stephen Ministers participate in 50 hours of training and receive continuing education and support from church leaders. Those in need receive care, encouragement, spiritual and emotional support for as long as they need it.  The Stephen Ministry at Middle Church is God's love in action.
