What is Stephen Ministry?
We are all faced with difficulties and challenges in
life, and God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone.
Since the summer of 2013, Community Celebration Church in Kasson, has offered a
cost-free, distinctively-Christian caring ministry called Stephen Ministry.
Stephen Ministry equips lay people through over 50 hours of training to provide
confidential, one-to-one Christian care to congregation members and the
surrounding community who are presently experiencing difficulties and
challenges in day-to-day life.
