What is Stephen Ministry?
Stephen Ministry is an extension of pastoral care. It was founded in 1975 to provide one-on-one, distinctively Christian care to hurting people. A Stephen Minister meets weekly with a care receiver to provide hope and encouragement. Stephen Ministers care, so that Christ can cure! Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church became part of Stephen Ministry over 30 years ago.
