Stephen Ministry
At St. Paul Ann Arbor, we are called to GATHER, GROW, and GO. Part of this mission is to create a welcoming, caring space in our faith community in which people can find healing for body and soul. St. Paul has equipped and empowered a team of Stephen Ministers—laypeople who provide one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people experiencing grief, unemployment, hospitalization, loneliness, divorce, financial stress, a terminal illness, addiction, or other life difficulties. Stephen Ministers are available to partner with people in our congregation during difficult times, and they can walk alongside you through the challenging seasons of life.
One way to think of Stephen Ministry Care Givers is that they are the “After People.”
- …after the phone call you hoped you would never get.
- …after the divorce papers are served and the bottom falls out of your life.
- …after the funeral, when everyone has left and the emotions you’ve held at bay come crashing in on you.
- …after the doctor say, “I’m sorry there’s nothing more we can do.”
- …after the nursing home director shakes you hand and says, “Welcome to your new home.”
- …after the last child honks the horn, waves and drives away—and the house suddenly seems empty.
- …after the baby arrives, demanding more of you than you ever dreamed possible.
- …after you find a pink slip with your final paycheck.
- …after your family and friends have heard your story one too many times, but you still need to talk it out.
- …after…(you fill in the blank).
Stephen Ministers are ready to come alongside you and provide comfort and support for as long after as needed. Men are always paired with men and women with women in a confidential caring relationship. Please complete a request form if you would like to find out how a Stephen Minister could be helpful to you.
