Stephen Ministry
Staff Leader: Joe Shafer
Volunteer Leader: Barbara Carruth
Our mission is to proclaim through word and deed, the Gospel of Jesus Christ by nurturing, edifying, educating, and equipping the whole people of God who are called, gifted, and sent to be more effective servants who care for the needs of the whole person.
Stephen Ministers provide one-on-one support to help people who are working on difficult issue in their lives.
How does the referral process work?
- A person - either you, a relative, or a friend is hurting and in need of Christian care.
- After the person in need - either you, a relative, or a friend has granted permission, contact Barbara Carruth, Lay Leader, or Joe Shafer, Staff Leader, at 972-539-8547, ext 203, or email him at joes@tmumc.org.
- After explaining about Stephen Ministry, a Stephen Minister will be assigned to meet on a weekly basis with that person.
The Stephen Minister provides distinctively Christian and strictly confidential care.
