Stephen Ministry

Christ Caring for People through People.

 FPC Stephen Ministers - Class of 2012
 
Commissioning of FPC Stephen Ministers
We all experience challenges in life—times when we could benefit from the support of a caring Christian friend. Stephen Ministers are ready to provide the emotional and spiritual care we need when faced with a crisis or difficulty and bring Christ's love to hurting people. Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.
 

This Christian Care Ministry began at FPC with the commissioning of ten Stephen Ministers in June 2010. Currently there are twenty lay ministers who provide care for the FPC family, hospitals, and the community. A new class will begin their training in the spring of 2013. If you or a friend are in need of a caring person to walk alongside of you during a time of sadness or illness, please contact Denise Ellis, RN 843.448.4496.

If you are a trained Stephen Minister or have ever experienced the help of a Stephen Minister, we'd love to hear from you.
