Stephen Ministries


The Stephen Ministries organization is an international, trans-denominational, Christian training organization, founded in 1975 and based in St. Louis, Missouri. 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. 
 
Southminster is proud to be a Stephen Ministry church, offering Christian care ministry to those in need. Stephen Ministers are available to listen and care for those who are in a time of need. Stephen Ministers are not counselors and cannot cure. Stephen Ministry is confidential and requires a referral from the pastor in order for someone to be contacted by a Stephen Minister.
 
If you are in need of care by a Stephen Minister, or if you are interested in becoming a Stephen Minister, please contact Pastor Joe Marting at 314-843-1133.
