Christ the King has enrolled as a Stephen Ministry congregation and has trained five parishioners to help lead, train, and supervise a team of Stephen Ministers. We will begin our initial training course of Stephen Ministers in early 2027.
Once trained, the ministers will be equipped to meet for one hour once a week with individuals going through a difficult time. The Stephen Ministers will provide a caring presence, a listening ear, and comforting words – supporting care receivers throughout their journey with grief, divorce, a medical crisis, job loss or more. The Stephen Ministers will walk with the care receivers, relying on God as the true CURE giver, in order to bring love and healing to a difficult season.
In addition to the one hour meeting with the care receiver, the minister will also meet monthly for continued supervision and support with the team of Stephen Ministers and leaders and will be provided continued education throughout the year.
