Stephen Ministry offers a proven and effective way to organize, equip, and supervise a team of congregation members—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people in the congregation and the community experiencing life difficulties.
Stephen Leaders are church staff, lay leaders, and pastors trained to provide ongoing leadership for their congregation’s Stephen Ministry. They are equipped for this key role through the Bridge Leader’s Training Course offered by Stephen Ministries St. Louis.
Stephen Ministers are congregation members trained by their Stephen Leaders to offer care to people who are hurting. A Stephen Minister typically has one care receiver at a time and meets with that person once a week for about an hour.
Care Receivers are individuals in the congregation or community who are going through a crisis or life difficulty. Potential care receivers first meet with a pastor or Stephen Leader, who assesses their needs for care, and matches them with a Stephen Minister. The caring relationship lasts for as long as the need persists.
If you or a loved one are interested in finding out more about receiving care or becoming a Stephen Minister, please contact Laurie Hamilton at laurie.hamilton@sjdenver.org, or call the church office at 303-733-3777.

Homebound Care
The Homebound Care Ministry serves those who are unable to worship at church. Each month a volunteer from St. John's brings a devotion and the communion meal and then visits with the homebound individual. Greeting cards are sent at various times of the year and small gifts are taken to the people at Christmas and Easter. Both the callers and the homebound come away blessed by these visits!
Caring Visits is a ministry where individuals at St. John's make friendly visits with some of the older people in our church community. Perhaps you would like to make these visits or maybe you know someone who would benefit from a friendly, caring visit. The group usually makes two visits a month or more as needed. If you are interested in making a difference in the life of an elderly person, let us know. You will be blessed as well!
