Stephen Ministry

East Naples United Methodist Church's Stephen Ministry is a Christ centered ministry of caring lay people who provide a confidential service of listening, encouragement, emotional and spiritual support to people facing life's challenges. We are trained and committed to help members of our congregation and community, including visitations to hospitals, assisted living facilities and jail ministries. All this is done for and through Jesus Christ our Lord. Stephen Ministry is God's Love in Action. For more information regarding Stephen Ministry click here.

Stephen Ministry Training Class

A Stephen Ministry training class for anyone interested in becoming a Stephen Minister, will be held beginning in (approximately) the second week of November, and running until the end of February, with possible time off (depending on the need) for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The class would only meet once per week for three hours (possibly 9am - 12pm) giving plenty of time for participants to read the material, as well as being involved in other activities.

Anyone interested in participating in the training should contact Pastor Gene Morgan in the church office. 239-774-4696.
