"Congregations longing for meaningful, life-changing small groups will find the ChristCare Series to be a thoroughly researched, well-tested system of small group ministry that lays out a clear road map to successful congregational care, discipleship, and ministry in and through small groups."
Rev. Jeff Patterson
Trinity Lutheran Church
Spring, Texas
"The ChristCare Series is far more comprehensive than anything else that's out there. It doesn't just tell you what you should be doing, it tells you how and gives you everything you need to do it. I'm convinced it's been worth every penny--and more!"
Rev. Cynthia Carter
Shadle Park Presbyterian Church
Spokane, Washington
"The ChristCare Series transforms small group ministry from a program to a caring way of life. It brings small group ministry to a whole new level."

"I've been involved in small groups for 25 years, and I've never seen a more effective, well-structured program than ChristCare. It protects, encourages, and ministers to the leaders, thus ensuring personal growth and preventing burnout. If implemented correctly, we feel it is a fail-proof system."

"Not only does ChristCare provide a week of Equipper training that can change lives and an Equipper's Manual that answers every conceivable need or question, but a live person at Stephen Ministries is just a phone call away--they care about us and help work out the wrinkles."
Rev. Heather Entrekin
Prairie Baptist Church
Prairie Village, Kansas
"ChristCare resources and training have marvelously equipped us to permeate our large suburban church with small, intimate, dynamic home groups. Our ChristCare home groups give a small church feeling that is fabulous and contagious!"

"ChristCare Groups have brought a new dimension of caring to our congregation. The spiritual growth experienced by group leaders and group members has brought a much-needed increase in concern for and awareness of one another."
Rev. Don Wilson
The Federated Church
Columbus, Nebraska
"ChristCare has been wonderful for our mission congregation. It has helped us jump over one of the plateaus a church will reach if only a pastor is providing care. We expect it will continue to promote the warmth that visitors feel when they enter our doors. ChristCare is the best investment a congregation can make in its members and its future."
Robert Rottmann
Mt. Olive Lutheran Church
Greenwood, Indiana
"Our parish has been heavily and successfully involved for ten years in promoting small groups. ChristCare has opened up new and exciting possibilities for excellence. I humbly thank God for how Stephen Ministries is making my service in and for the Church more fruitful."

"Because of my experience with the Stephen Series, we enrolled with confidence. The ChristCare Series is a carefully thought out system that anticipates and provides everything we need at each step of the implementation, growth, and maintenance of our small group ministry."
Rev. Margo Tenold
Los Gatos United Methodist Church
Los Gatos, California
"ChristCare Groups are a place to find Jesus' love and care. With ChristCare in place, everyone knows immediately this is a congregation that cares. ChristCare is a ministry every congregation needs."

"I had initiated ChristCare Group Ministry at my previous congregation. One of my first priorities with my new congregation was to influence the leadership to begin ChristCare here too. It is simply that good!"
Rev. Jim Wiebel
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church

"The Equipper's Training Course helped me flesh out the step-by-step procedures we need to lead our congregation into small groups. ChristCare is to small groups what Rand McNally is to maps."
