Stephen Ministers

Good Shepherd is in the midst of starting a new class for prospective Stephen Ministers. We need to find men and women of our congregation who are willing to answer Jesus' call to serve as new Stephen Ministers, which begins with 50 hours of stimulating and useful training in Christian caring skills. This training will be led by a joint training team from Good Shepherd and Grace Community Church in Seal Beach. All training sessions will be held on the Good Shepherd campus. Think and pray about this opportunity. If you decide you would like to be a Stephen Minister, please contact Marie Crenshaw, Diana Klimek or Pastor Bryan and we can talk about how you can get started.
