Stephen Ministry
Training Manual
The Stephen Ministry Training Manual is the primary textbook that Stephen Ministers use during their initial 50 hours of training and first 17.5 hours of continuing education. It contains 25 training modules that correspond to the presentation materials that Stephen Leaders have in section T of their Leader's Manual. These modules contain both Preclass Reading material for each session as well as outlines and notes for the classroom session. Many modules also contain appendices with additional information that Stephen Ministers will refer to as they provide caring ministry.
The two-volume, 695-page resource provides Stephen Ministers with a solid understanding of the psychological and theological principles of Christian caregiving, a thorough grounding in the Christ-centered nature of Stephen Ministry, and hands-on skills they can use not only in their caring relationships but in all aspects of life.
See a list and brief summary of each of the 25 training topics.
