God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone. That's why God has brought us together as a congregation -- and why we have Stephen Ministry.

Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who have received 50 hours of caregiving training to minister to people experiencing a crisis, facing a challenge, or simply going through a tough time.

A Stephen Minister will meet with you -- privately and confidentially -- on a weekly basis to listen, care, encourage, support, and remind you of Christ's presence in your life.

Pastor Hallack Greider and Pastor Kurt Helmcke currently supply the pastoral leadership for Stephen Ministry at North Creek.

Doug Wolff is the Leader in charge of training new Stephen Ministers.  He is also responsible for scheduling the continuing education classes for Stephen Ministers at our Supervision meetings. Doug does the communication for Stephen Ministry and is currently the recording Secretary for the Stephen Leaders.

LeAnn Venn is the Leader responsible for assigning Care Givers and serves as the Ministry Chair and Supervision facilitator.

If you'd like to learn more about Stephen Ministry for yourself, a family member, or a friend, neighbor, coworker, or someone else you know -- inside or outside our congregation -- talk with one of our pastors or Stephen Leaders.
