Stephen Ministry has been part of Christ Church Lutheran for so long, most members cannot remember when the church didn't have Stephen Ministry. It has become an essential part of the congregation's overall ministry.
"Since we began Stephen Ministry, I sleep better at night. Right now, for example, I know there are 26 people receiving care--very high-quality care--on a weekly basis from our Stephen Ministers. As a pastor, I simply don't have another 26 hours a week to provide that care myself. So it's a joy and comfort to know that people in need are receiving that care from our Stephen Ministers."
Rev. Arnold Frank
