Stephen Ministry is a confidential, caring ministry by trained lay members of Christ Our Shepherd Lutheran Church. Stephen Ministers provide distinctively Christian care to those people who would benefit from the continuing presence and prayers of a caring Christian friend. Typical needs which are addressed are: hospitalization, grief, loneliness, depression, separation and divorce, families of the terminally ill, loss of job or financial setback, struggles with faith, and arrest and/or imprisonment. Contact a pastor, Dolores Daniel (770-229-2229), Sharon Jeffries (770-719-1263) if you would like to learn more about receiving the care of a Stephen Minister or about becoming one.
