Stephen Ministry & Personal Development Training

Stephen Ministry & Personal Development Training

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. Participants who register will receive Zoom information at a later stage.  Starting Thursday, 25th September 2025 and running until March 2026. Training commences at 7.00pm sharp until 9.00pm. A contribution of CHF 150 is requested per person (which covers materials, freight, taxes, online license, etc.). If needed the contribution can be spread over the period of the training.  To aid our logistics please book early at https://stephenministry.ch/StephenMinistryTraining.php.
