Corinth's Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry provides distinctively Christian one-on-one care to those who are experiencing crises or changes in life -- such as the hospitalized, the terminally ill, those with a job crisis, the aging and elderly, those facing life transition, the separated and divorced, those in spiritual crisis, and many more.

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10)

Upcoming Training Class: Have you prayerfully considered becoming a Stephen Minister? If so, please contact Pastor Bob Thompson, Pastor Bill, Tara Davis, Cyndi Burns, or Barbara Laney.

Training runs February to May: every Thursday evening and a few Saturdays
