![]() Stephen Ministers are “The After People” Stephen Ministries was founded in 1975 by Rev. Kenneth C. Haugk, Ph.D. to train lay people to provide quality, one-to-one Christian care to individuals experiencing a life crisis. Today, more than 10,000 congregations representing more than 150 Christian denominations are enrolled in the Stephen Ministry program. More than 500,000 laypersons have been trained as Stephen Ministers, who in turn have ministered to more than a million care receivers. (http://www.stephenministries.org/)
Stephen Ministers receive more than 50 hours of training, plus ongoing continuing education to prepare them to provide distinctly Christian confidential care to those in need. Victory had been enrolled in the Stephen Ministry program since 2007. If you are interested in becoming a Stephen Minister, please feel free to take a look at the application form (pdf).
