Become a Stephen Minister

Do you feel called to walk alongside others during life’s difficult seasons? Are you someone who naturally offers Christian love and care to those who are hurting? If so, Stephen Ministry may be the perfect place for you to serve.

Discover how you can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life—one relationship at a time. There’s still time to apply! Applications are accepted for new Stephen Ministers for the 2026 class beginning NOW through Monday, October 20. Stephen Minister Training will start on Tuesday, January 6 on campus.

  • The first step in the process is to take the Lead Your Life Inventory if you have not taken it already. This inventory includes three sections and will likely take you 15-30 minutes to complete.
  • The second step is to complete an ONLINE APPLICATION.

Email the Care office or call 407.876.4991 ext. 262 with any questions.

If you are in need of a Stephen minister, mark the box on your Connection card on Sunday indicating you are going through a difficult time and need support, email or call the Care office at 407.876.4991 ext. 262 to be confidentially matched with a caring Christian listener.
