CJ & Diana (the Office Crew) Stephen Ministry at MRUMC Stephen Ministers are congregation members trained by Stephen Leaders to offer high- quality, one-to-one Christian care to people going through tough times. A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. Twice a month, Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education. Our Stephen Ministers have spent four months in intensive caregiver training and are compassionate, filled with faith, and, most of all, trustworthy. If you would like to speak with a Stephen Minister, contact Glenn Banning at [email protected] or Anne Clewis at [email protected] or contact the church office at 828-891-7788 or [email protected].
