Stephen Ministryjesus with cross Compassion: Deeply sharing the suffering of another, together with the inclination to give aid or support. As we look at Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection, we observe the ultimate example of compassion. He now calls us to follow his example and to be deeply concerned for one another. Stephen Ministry is a ministry filled with compassion. It provides compassionate Christians with a place where they can use those gifts in ministry as a Stephen Minister. It also provides a haven where those in need of compassion can receive it in a confidential relationship with a Stephen Minister. If you would like to know more about Stephen Ministry, or have a strong need for compassion from a fellow Christian, please contact a Stephen leader (Ruth Anderson, Mickey Castor, Louie Dalton, Jim Kamer, Judy Copeland or Pr. Hillmer).
