Stephen Ministry

Red Mountain UMC is a Stephen Ministry Church.  

The name ‘Stephen’ comes from Acts 6 when Stephen was the first lay person commissioned to provide caring ministry.  Following this heritage, the RMUMC Stephen Ministry team provides compassionate care for those who need an ongoing Christian relationship to help them work through a life challenge.  Our care receivers trust that the relationship will be maintained in confidence.  

If you are facing one of life’s challenges and would like to consider having a Stephen Minister, please call the church office at 480-981-3833 for more information.

If you would like more information about a Stephen Ministry relationship, please view the video recently presented on PBS:  http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/episodes/april-9-2010/stephen-ministry/6044/

Stephen Ministry is a Christ-centered ministry of laypersons who give compassionate, skilled care to those going through crisis.  

Classes to train new Stephen Ministers will begin as needed.  If you wish to make a difference in the lives of others by becoming a Stephen Minister, contact the church office at 480-981-3833.
