A Ministry of Leadership
Stephen Leaders are clergy and lay Christians trained at a one-week Leader's Training Course to oversee and
direct Stephen Ministry in their congregations. This includes recruiting, selecting, training, and supervising
Stephen Ministers in the congregation. They learn how to coordinate Stephen Ministry by attending a Stephen
Series Leader's Training Course led by the faculty of the Stephen Ministries organization.
Stephen Ministers are trained and supervised congregation members who provide one-to-one distinctively Christian
care to hurting people on behalf of their congregation. Stephen Ministers are trained in the congregation by their
congregation's Stephen Leaders. Many Stephen Ministers, after serving as a caregiver, go on to attend an LTC and
become a Stephen Leader.
The Difference between Stephen Leaders and Stephen Ministers
The difference between a Stephen Leader and a Stephen Minister is important. A person who would be a good Stephen Minister
would not necessarily be a good Stephen Leader. The opposite is also true. Cost to train one Leader is about $2000 including
travel expenses.
