The Stephen Series: One-to-One Christian Care-giving
The Stephen Series is a complete system for training and organizing laypersons for caring ministry in
and around the congregation. The Stephen Series provides congregations with the structure, training,
and resources to set up and administer a complete system for lay caring ministry (called Stephen
Ministry) in the congregation. In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen
Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to the bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated,
divorced, unemployed, relocated, and others facing a crisis or life challenge. Stephen Ministry helps
pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.

As Stephen Ministers, we are here to help you. Stephen Ministers have had extensive training in all
situations and will keep things confidential, otherwise we could not be Stephen Ministers. We took an
oath before God.
Please talk to us if it is a little situation or a bigger one, we are here to be at your side. Situations can
be just about anything such as depression, loneliness, alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, sickness, loss of
a job, or just to have someone to talk to. All problems are very real and important.
We would like to introduce ourselves to you...Our Stephen Ministers are;
Darlene Eiff, Judy Omet, Dennis Eiff, Marcia Rosynek, Diana Gutknecht, Dorothy Schultz,
