A New Concise Video for Promoting Your Stephen Ministry

As Stephen Ministries celebrates 50 years of equipping the saints for ministry, we want to involve congregations everywhere in the festivities and offer tools to spread the word about their Stephen Ministry. To help your church make the most of this opportunity, we’ve created a new video featuring Stephen Ministries’ founder, Dr. Kenneth Haugk.

In this video, Dr. Haugk makes a powerful connection between the global tradition of Christ-centered care that began in 1975 and the difference that Stephen Ministry churches—including yours—are making in people’s lives today.

You can use this video in a variety of ways:

  • Share it at worship services or informational events

  • Include it on a Stephen Ministry page on your congregation website

  • Forward it to friends, relatives, and others to let them know what Stephen Ministry is

  • Show it to potential Stephen Minister applicants

  • Share it to potential care receivers

  • Watch it with your Stephen Ministry team
