GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life's most difficult experiences. GriefShare is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. We understand that there are other losses in life that create feelings of grief. You might be experiencing a job loss, a divorce, estrangement from a child, or the loss of friends because of a move. This grief is real, but it is not the kind of grief discussed in GriefShare sessions.
This is an ongoing study which you can join at any time.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105 

In these last days, God has spoken to us in His Son. What does He say about Jesus, angels, and our great salvation? Learn about Jesus' superiority to all in this exciting study of Hebrews that enlightens and enlivens Old Testament law and prophecy.

This semester we will study Hebrews Chapters 5-13. Although we covered Hebrews Part 1 (Chapters 1-4) in the fall, that is NOT a prerequisite for Hebrews Parts 2 and 3! 

We'll be offering both in person and online options! The online group will meet via Zoom and will be using the Precept Upon Precept workbook. Precept Upon Precept is the most in-depth study. The in-person group will primarily be using the In & Out workbook. This streamlined study offers the same essential depth as Precept Upon Precept, with less homework.  

***Please contact Carissa DeAngelis at carissadeangelis@gmail.com (in-person group) or Diane Ela at dianeela@yahoo.com (online group) for information on available scholarships or if you have any questions!

Stephen Ministry

Leader: Lorrie Jocius

 Contact Leader

What Is Stephen Ministry?

Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2, NRSV).

Stephen Ministry offers a proven and effective way to organize, equip, and supervise a team of congregation members—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people in the congregation and the community experiencing life difficulties.

Who’s Involved in Stephen Ministry?

Stephen Leaders are church staff, lay leaders, and pastors trained at a Leader’s Training Course to provide ongoing leadership for their congregation’s Stephen Ministry.

Stephen Ministers are congregation members trained by their Stephen Leaders to offer care to people who are hurting. A Stephen Minister typically has one care receiver at a time and meets with that person once a week for about an hour.

Care receivers are individuals in the congregation or community who are going through a crisis or life difficulty. Potential care receivers first meet with a pastor or Stephen Leader, who assesses their needs for care and matches them with a Stephen Minister. The caring relationship lasts for as long as the need persists.

If you would like more information, please contact one of our leaders.
