Stephen Ministry
Click on the video below to view the Stephen Ministry feature
on the PBS "Religion and Ethics" news show, April 9, 2010



Visit the PBS Web site, where you'll also find several bonus features--including a nine-minute interview with Stephen Ministries' founder and executive director, Kenneth C. Haugk.
St. Matthew's Lutheran Church is a Stephen Ministry Congregation.  In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to those in need. Persons needing special help, or those just needing someone to talk and pray with during a particularly difficult time, can be encouraged and comforted by meeting with a Stephen Minister.

Stephen Ministry's one-to-one Christian care can provide help to those who are:

  • bereaved,
  • hospitalized,
  • terminally ill,
  • separated or divorced,
  • unemployed,
  • relocated, and
  • anyone facing a crisis or life challenge.

Stephen Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.
