Stephen Ministers

Stephen Ministry is grounded in Jesus' command to love one another. Through one-to-one caring relationships between a Stephen Minister and a care receiver, those who are hurting receive the love and care they need to support them. If you would like to know more about becoming a Stephen Minister, or have a need that may benefit from a relationship with a Stephen Minister, please contact the church office.

These ministries serve people with medical concerns, loss of job, addition of a new baby, or a death in the family.  A family care deacon is usually the first deacon to contact a family.  This deacon looks for ways in which the church may be helpful and coordinates with the pastoral staff, prayer team, meals coordinator, gift card coordinator, or other resources within APC as are appropriate for the situation.

Visitation

The Visitation Team ministry matches congregational volunteers with shut-ins or members who have trouble getting out. If you would like to be a "visitor" or know someone in need of "visitors", please contact the church office.
