Stephen Ministry AT BHLC:
We are currently recruiting for Stephen
Ministers. There is a short application form
for that will be available at the church office
or through a Stephen Leader- Laurie
Schantz. Mary Ann Klein, or Eric Jones.
What is the Stephen Ministry:
The Stephen Ministry is a lay care giving
ministry. Stephen Ministers administer
distinctly Christian care to people going
through significant life changes. Stephen
Ministers are not counselors, but are trained
Christian caregivers. Their role is to listen
and to care- not to counsel and advise. The
Stephen Ministry is confidential and
supervised to provide the best possible care.
How Stephen Ministry Works:
Stephen Leaders recruit and select laypeople
from the congregation to serve as Stephen
Ministers and provide them with training in
Christian care giving. Upon completion of
the training, these lay persons are
commissioned as Stephen Ministers Stephen
Leaders then link each Stephen Minister
with a care receiver—a member of the
congregation or community who is in need
of quality Christian care. A Stephen
Minister normally is assigned to only one
care receiver at a time and meets with the
care receiver for an average of about one
hour each week. Stephen Ministers also
meet twice monthly for peer supervision and
continuing education.
The Stephen Series Logo:
The logo Stephen Ministry congregations
use consists of a cross and circle, together
with a broken person and a whole person.
The broken person stands behind the cross,
symbolizing the brokenness in our lives as a
result of our sin. The whole person stands in
front of the cross because it is through the
cross of Jesus that we again are made whole.
The circle symbolizes both the wholeness
we receive through Christ and God's
unending love for us.
Stephen Ministry Facts:
The Stephen Ministry began in 1975 when
the Rev. Kenneth C. Haugk, Ph.D., a pastor
and clinical psychologist, trained nine
laypersons at his congregation to be Stephen
Ministers. Today more than 9000
congregations have enrolled and been
trained in the Stephen Ministry. More than
50,000 individuals have been trained as
Stephen Leaders. Those Stephen Leaders
have trained more than 450,000 laypersons
to be Stephen Ministers.
If you would like more information or are
interested in becoming a Stephen
Minister please contact Laurie Schantz,
Mary Ann Klein, or Eric Jones.
