Stephen Ministry celebrates 50 Years!

Join Us!

As one of over 14,000 Stephen Ministry congregations, St. Paul's is part of a worldwide tradition of care that spans over half a century. God has worked through our church and our Stephen Leaders and Stephen Ministers to touch lives throughout our church and community.


Join us on October 18, 2026 where we celebrate this ministry on Stephen Ministry Sunday at the 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. services. 

Check out the video here where Dr. Kenneth Haugk, founder of Stephen Ministries,  makes a powerful connection between the global tradition of Christ-centered care that began in 1975 and the difference that Stephen Ministry churches makes in people's lives today.

Stephen Ministry

St. Paul's is a Stephen Ministry Congregation. 

We have a team of gifted, trained and committed Stephen Ministers who provide high quality, confidential one-to-one Christian care to people who are hurting in our congregation. Stephen Ministers help their care receivers who are struggling through a difficult time in their life---experiencing grief, divorce, job loss, a chronic or terminal illness, or some other life crisis or transition. 


Stephen Ministry is a practical and powerful way to respond to Christ's commandment:


"Love one another as I have loved you" John 15:12
