What is Stephen Ministry?
Stephen Ministry is a system for training and organizing lay people
to provide one-to-one Christian care to people in and around our congregation.
What is the meaning of the Stephen Ministry logo?
The logo’s most dominant feature is the cross of Jesus, who is the
center of Stephen Ministry and all Stephen Ministry relationships.
The broken person behind the cross symbolizes how we are all broken
people, broken by our own sin and imperfections.
The whole person in front of the cross signifies the wholeness we encounter
through the transforming power of the cross of Jesus. It is only through
Jesus and his life, death on the cross, and resurrection that we, who are
broken people, are made whole.
The circle is a symbol of God’s eternal and never-ending love for us.
God’s love surrounds us, holds us, heals us, with the cross of Jesus at
the center of that love. For it was Jesus, God’s Son, who allowed himself
to be broken on the cross to save us from our sin and give us the opportunity
to be restored to wholeness through him.
