Caring Ministry Workshop offcare.”

“Stephen Ministry helps our members fulfill their Christian calling to love one another,” Engelmann said. “Loving and caring for people isn’t just the pastor’s job – all Christians are called to minister to one another. We really look forward to this workshop as a way of helping others become aware of this calling.”
The second session provides an introduction to the Stephen Series, a system of lay-caring ministry through which congregation leaders can equip members to provide one-to-one Christian care to people in need. Since 1975, more than 9,000 congregations representing more than 100 denominations have implemented the Stephen Series.
The final session defines “How to Care in a Distinctively Christian Way.” Participants learn what makes Christian caregiving unique and how they can use resources like prayer, blessings and Scripture in their caring for others.
The cost of the workshop is $15 per person or $50 for a group of four or more from the same congregation.
