“Oh, I don't need counseling."
Then you might be at the right place because Stephen Ministers aren't counselors. We leave that to the professionals, but would you like to talk to someone about what you are experiencing?
We currently have trained believers, known as Stephen Ministers, ready to walk alongside you as you process life's difficulties in a confidential, one-on-one environment. You may wonder whether your situation warrants asking for help, but let us assure you that as long as it is within the scope of our abilities, we would be HONORED to lighten your load. See the attached link for testimonials of some of the situations we are trained to support. Please do not hesitate to contact Bill Moir at bill@faithmanhattan.org for further information or to see if Stephen Ministry can assist you.
We are also looking to train people in these skill sets. If you are compassionate, a good listener, and willing to let God provide the solutions to other people's problems, you may be a good fit for our team!
Please contact Jim Kenworthy at Jamesrkenworthy@gmail.com for an application and for the next training schedule.
