The Stephen Series is a system of lay caring ministry developed for use in the church setting. The program trains and supports lay people as they care for others in their communities who are in need or in crisis. We have adapted this program for our seminary setting. Students will learn care-giving skills such as listening and experience care-giving in one-on-one situations. There are four independent study options available for training, care-giving, and leadership opportunities.
