Stephen Ministry Overview

Article Pic

The Stephen Ministry is a complete program of trained lay people providing one-to-one Christian care to hurting people in and around our congregation.

The Stephen Ministry provides MEFC with the structure, training, and resources to offer a complete system for lay caring ministry both to members of our congregation and others God brings across our path. Through the Stephen Ministry, 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. The Stephen Ministry helps MEFC provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.

If you, or someone you know would benefit from a visit with a Stephen Minister, contact Nancy MacKay or Beth Sears. Since this is a very confidential program, make sure you ask the person in need BEFORE contacting us.

Caregiver Bible Study

  • Are you overseeing or providing care of an aging, chronically ill, or disabled family member or friend?
  • Do you have new responsibilities as a caregiver without the benefit of formal training?
  • Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety, anger, resentment or isolation as a caregiver?
  • Would you like to meet others on this journey?
  • Would you like to share your concerns where confidentiality is embraced and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment?
  • Would you like to be empowered with biblical principles as you face the challenges of care giving?
