How Stephen Ministry Blesses HHBC

Stephen Ministry is a win-win situation for all involved—it multiplies blessings throughout the church and community.

•       Congregations receive a practical and powerful way to respond to Christ’s Commandment: Love one another as I have loved you (John 15:12).

•       Pastors have a team of gifted, trained and committed lay caregivers ready to minister to hurting people. Stephen Ministry supports pastors by deepening, expanding and extending the caregiving capacity of their congregations. A team of Stephen Ministers, together with a pastor, can provide ongoing care to more people than the pastor can provide alone. This also frees pastors to invest more time in other important ministry areas.

•       Laypeople nurture and use their gifts in meaningful ministry, growing spiritually as they serve.

•       People who are hurting have a compassionate companion—a caring Christian friend who provides emotional and spiritual support.

•       Stephen Ministers often provide care for people in the community, enhancing and expanding a congregation’s outreach in a powerful way.
