 Stephen Ministry

    Everyone goes through tough times.  Stephen Ministry is a group of caring Christian friends who can offer a listening ear to help others through those tough times.  Stephen Ministers are not counselors or therapists themselves, but instead, they are trained lay people informed on how to listen and find the best way to help.
 
If you are going through a tough time or know someone who is and need someone to talk to, please contact the Parish Office 937-773-1656.
One of the staff members will place a call to a Stephen Minister for you.
