Those who thrive working at Stephen Ministries enjoy much about their work here, but the key reasons that Stephen Ministries fits so well for them are the great opportunities, the great people, and the great mission.

Great Opportunities.

"Training, writing, designing, editing, supervising, shipping, computing. There's a lot that goes into the development and distribution of the life-transforming resources that Stephen Ministries provides, and we all make it happen. We make it happen because we are driven to work hard and accomplish as much as possible each day. We make it happen because we manage our time carefully. And because we all share the same vision and drive--helping and motivating each other--we have a great deal of fun in the process."

David Bode

Great People.

Community Gatherings at the Stephen Ministries Center are celebrations, pure and simple. We get together to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries of employees being at Stephen Ministries. We also hear God's Word and pray together. These gatherings give us a chance to pause and celebrate community--the bond that holds our workplace together--as we support one another in good times and in bad. We get to know our coworkers better as real people, not just as friendly faces or as the function they fulfill. And of course there's always lots of good food, conversation, and laughter. Community Gatherings help us to celebrate the life of Christ in and through our colleagues.

"For more than 10 years, I have found that the most enjoyable aspect of what I do is working alongside the great people at Stephen Ministries. We share our lives together, we laugh together, we sometimes even cry together. Stephen Ministries is a fun-loving team--but more than that, we're a community of people who enjoy carrying out our purpose and mission together."

Joel Keen

"One reason I love working at Stephen Ministries is that it's so much fun here. We enjoy events such as our monthly Community Gatherings and our annual picnic--with its intense four-square tournament!--but we also have fun in our daily work and interactions here at the office. What makes this possible is that everyone here gets along. We all care about one another and honestly enjoy one another's company. It makes a huge difference to work with people who treat one another with kindness and respect."

Becky Bogar

Great Mission.

"It's really important to me that I do meaningful work, something that makes me excited to get up in the morning. Stephen Ministries gives me just that--our mission here reaches so many. It really pushes me to be a good steward of the gifts and abilities God has given me to help build his church. If I can do my part to help pastors and lay leaders offer care to hurting people, then it's well worth it."

Janine Ushe

"Working for such a caring, Christ-centered ministry has been an incredible experience for me. Everyone here is deeply passionate about our ministries, and through our efforts as a team, we're able to make a real impact in the church and the secular world. Our work here benefits countless people--I feel privileged to be a part of it!"

Our foyer mural by calligraphy artist Timothy R. Botts defines our mission: "To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ." Ephesians 4:12-13
