Danger vs. Opportunity
Did you realize that the average crisis lasts for about six weeks? By the end of a month and a half, people usually come to some solution. Sometimes the solutions are good, but sometimes they just cause more painful problems. Stephen Ministry can help people find positive resolutions to crises as a Stephen Minister walks with a care receiver for a period of time.
If you feel the need for this kind of care or know someone who does and would like to learn more about Stephen Ministry, please email stephenministry@peaceaustin.org with your contact information or call the church office and a Stephen Leader will contact you.
We can provide care by telephone, video conferencing, or other methods needed to maintain social distance.
There are times when every one of us experiences difficulties such as:
- Loss of a loved one
- Hospitalization
- Spiritual Crisis
- Divorce
- Job Loss
- Disability
- Loneliness
- Cancer
- Imprisonment
- Infertility
- Deployment
- Caregiving…
God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone. That’s why God has brought us together in worship — and why we have Stephen Ministry. Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who have received 50 hours of training to minister to people inside and outside of our congregation who are experiencing a crisis or going through a difficult time in life. Every week, a Stephen Minister will meet with you — privately and confidentially — to listen, care, encourage, support, and reflect Christ’s presence in your life.
If you’d like to learn more about Stephen Ministry for yourself or someone else (inside or outside our congregation), please email us with your contact information or call the church office and and a Stephen Leader will contact you.
We can provide care by telephone, video conferencing, or other methods needed to maintain social distance if you have health concerns.
