Instituted in 1993, the Stephen Ministry program at Chapel by the Lake has been going strong ever since. At the beginning, not many people knew of Stephen Ministry and its benefits, but the Stephen Leader team worked hard at focusing on publicity, making personal contacts, and many other things. Chapel by the Lake has a Stephen Ministry Sunday every few months and through building congregational awareness, hundreds of hurting people have received the care they needed.
"We have a good reputation for being there for people. So we get a lot of people from the surrounding community who are not members of our church. In fact, early on, we had a larger percentage of people from outside the church than inside it making use of Stephen Ministry. A majority of those eventually did become active members."
