Stephen Ministry is a listening ministry made up of trained lay care-givers.  Their role is to listen and care - not to give advice or counsel.  They provide free, quality, one-to-one Christian care including: crisis care, follow-up care, chronic care, preventative care and supportive care.  Stephen Ministers listen, understand, accept, and pray for you as you go through a struggle or life challenge.  In the Geneva region these life challenges include separation/divorce, depression, loss, loneliness and those with serious illness.  There are 20 topics covered by the course which are provided at the link below.   This year’s training will take place online using Zoom.
