Welcome our newest Stephen Minister, Hakeem Hurt, who was commissioned on October 18,2020. Hakeem has been through 50 hours of specialized training in Christian caregiving and joins our team of Stephen Ministers: Karin Klingman, Debbie Jones, Ann Marie Nelson and Linda Ott. Stephen Ministers provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to people experiencing a crisis or going through a difficult time. They meet weekly with their care receiver for around an hour to listen, care, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support. Caring relationships last for as long as the person’s need persists. Know that our Stephen Ministers are available to help you in your time of need.
