The Stephen Ministry is a lay caring ministry in the congregation. In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to the bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, and others facing a crisis or life challenge. Stephen Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it. At MSCC, we have a dedicated team of men and women who have gone through 50 hours of training to prepare them for the challenges of caring for others. They work closely with the senior pastor to make sure needs are met in the congregation. Confidentiality is very important to insure that people can feel secure in their caregiver relationship.
