Stephen Ministry is a ministry in our congregation in which trained and supervised laypeople, called Stephen Ministers, provide one-to-one confidential Christian care to individuals facing life challenges.

Stephen Leaders are the ones who oversee and direct our Stephen Ministry. They recruit, select, train, organize, and supervise our Stephen Ministers; identify people in need of care; and match them with a Stephen Minister.

Stephen Ministers
Stephen Ministers are lay caregivers. They have engaged in high-quality training in Christian caregiving, including topics such as listening, feelings, boundaries, and assertiveness. More on Stephen Ministers |
Care receivers are the recipients of Stephen Ministers’ care. They are people from our church or community who are experiencing grief, loss of a job, divorce, loneliness, illness, or other life difficulties. Stephen Ministers meet with their care receivers once a week for about an hour for as long as the care receiver needs it.

We are so thrilled to commission five Stephen Ministers! After extensive training they are ready to be paired with a Care Receiver.

become a resource
There is a way to become involved in the Stephen Ministry without going through weeks of textbook training. An integral part of this ministry is our Resource List. When a certain need arises in ministering to a Care Receiver the ministry leadership goes to the Resource List for answers.
Currently some of our needs include lawn care, minor repairs, basic house chores and grocery shopping. If you or you know someone who would be interested in becoming a resource please contact Shane Luedtke (715-571-0197) or Paul Pawlowski (715-573-7092). We would like to talk to you.
