Stephen Ministries Trains 60,000th Stephen Leader

At the April 2010 Stephen Series Leader's Training Course in St. Louis, Missouri, Stephen Ministries trained the 60,000th person as a Stephen Leader. 60,000! This milestone is a testimony to the powerful impact Stephen Ministry has had on the church over the past 35 years. Sixty-thousand people--pastors, other church staff, lay leaders--who have been equipped to lead lay caregiving ministry in more than 10,000 congregations and who have trained more than half a million Stephen Ministers to provide care. That's truly an achievement worth celebrating!

You can see pictures from the celebration at the LTC and check out Amity Haugk's interview with the 60,000th Stephen Leader--Gregory Timmons of Calvary United Methodist Church in Holly, Michigan--by reading "Spotlight on the 60,000th Stephen Leader".
