Stephen Ministry Training to Begin in January
Expand
Crossroads will be offering a Stephen Ministry Training Course starting January 10, 2018. This 50-hour training course will train and equip you to serve as a Stephen Minister here at Crossroads. At the completion of the training in May, the new Stephen Ministers will join our present Stephen Ministers in providing one-to-one Christ-centered care to individuals experiencing difficulties in life.
The 50 hours of Stephen Ministry Training is broken down into twenty 2 ½ hour sessions that will be held on Wednesday nights (except PrimeTime nights) at 6:30 p.m. Among the training topics are:
· Feelings: Yours, Mine and ours
· The Art of Listening
· Distinctively Christian Caring
· Assertiveness: Relating Gently and Firmly
· Maintaining Boundaries in Caregiving
· Confidentiality
· Ministering to Those Experiencing Grief
· Caring for People before, during and after Hospitalization
Those that are interested in taking the training and being equipped to make a difference in other’s lives are encouraged to contact Brad Fogo at fogo@crossroads-christian.org or by calling the church office at 913-962-9966.
