The United Methodist Church of Geneva commissioned its first Stephen Ministers in the early 1990s. We currently have 8 trained, caring individuals who are committed to walking with others who need a shoulder to lean on. Training consists of 50 hours of class work with additional continuing education and peer supervision throughout their active ministry.
If you are experiencing a difficult time—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally—you don’t have to suffer alone. Our Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers, ready to listen, care for and encourage you, pray with and for you, and provide one-to-one Christian care to help you through whatever it is that you are facing. Men are matched with male Stephen Ministers, and women are matched with female Stephen Ministers. It’s free. It’s confidential. And it will make a difference in your life! To find out more about Stephen Ministry for you or someone you know, contact Pastor Rob Hamilton or our Stephen Ministry Leader, Linda Tamlyn.
