Saint Jude's doesn't have a multi-staff arrangement and found Stephen Ministry to help greatly with pastoral care needs. Rev. Arnold Bush says Saint Jude's Episcopal is "in the business of training laity in ministry. They need basic training before they specialize and the Stephen Series teaches the discipline and skills they need."
"For the four hours a month I invest in Stephen Ministry, our congregation receives 40 hours monthly of Christian care. Caregiving multiplies because of Stephen Ministry! Those who are hurting feel God's caring touch right away through our Stephen Ministers."
The Rev. Arnold A. Bush
