Stephen Ministry
2024-09-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Victory Lutheran Church, 5946 E. University Dr., Mesa, AZ, 85205, United States
Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation.

Stephen Ministers are trained by their congregation’s Stephen Leaders using resources from Stephen Ministries St. Louis. The training they receive in the congregation equips them to provide high-quality care to people who are hurting.

Care receivers are individuals in the congregation or community who are going through a crisis or life difficulty. Potential care receivers first meet with a pastor or Stephen Leader, who assesses their needs for care and matches them with a Stephen Minister.

After being matched with a person experiencing a life crisis, the Stephen Minister meets with that person on a weekly basis for about an hour to listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support. The caring relationship lasts as long as the need for care exists.

“Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2, NRSV)

What is a Stephen Minister?

Have you seen the people who wear blue name tags on Sunday? Have you noticed their name tags identify them as a Stephen Minister? If so, you may have wondered who or what is a Stephen Ministers?

Who Are Stephen Ministers?

You may not know, but Victory Lutheran church has one of the longest running Stephen Ministry programs in the nation. Our Stephen Ministry program began in March 1994 and from the beginning God has continuously used this program to bring Christ’s healing presence to those among us who are hurting.

In fact, God has called, equipped, and commissioned our Stephen Ministers to provide this vital one-to-one caring ministry here at Victory. Our Stephen Ministers come from many different backgrounds, ages, and walks of life, but the one important thing we all have in common is that the Holy Spirit has given us a heart for bringing Christ’s healing love to hurting people. In short, Victory’s Stephen Ministers are people just like you—caring Christians who want to make a difference in the lives of those going through difficult times.

What Do Stephen Ministers Do?

Victory’s Stephen Minister’s walks alongside a hurting person to provide one-to-one, emotional and spiritual care—listening, empathizing, encouraging, helping process feelings, and connecting the person with God’s love. Our Stephen Ministers serve in this role as God calls them to put their spiritual gifts into action and touch people’s lives in powerful ways.

How Can I Find Out More about becoming a Stephen Minister?

Good Question! Victory’s Stephen Ministry Program is hosting our annual Stephen Ministry lunch and learn on September 19th at 11:30am and anyone who is interested in finding out more about our program is invited to attend.

At this gathering you will meet our current Stephen Ministers, their spouses, and others who are curious or interested in serving as a Stephen Minster. During our time together we will share great food, information about our program and our plans for upcoming meetings/training. Victory will provide coffee, lemonade and Sloppy Joes and we invite other attendees to bring a side dish or dessert to share!

We look forward to seeing you all there! SIGN UP at the Welcome Center or call the church office at 480-830-5024.

Launching New

CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP SERVICE @ 11:00AMBeginning April 7th, Victory Lutheran will introduce a Contemporary Worship Service at 11:00am on Sunday mornings. Following Easter, the 11:00am service will shift from traditional to contemporary music, led by a praise team under the guidance of Jackie Jewel.

This new service has been a long-requested and carefully planned endeavor. While contemporary worship has been a part of Victory for over twenty years, it hasn’t been present at the Mesa campus for quite some time.

It’s important to note that traditional worship remains the cornerstone of Victory’s worship experience. This is our primary focus. We’re not aiming to “blend” traditional and contemporary styles. Our Saturday service at 4:00pm and Sunday services at 8:00am and 9:30am will continue to uphold traditional styles with excellence. The 11:00am Sunday service will adopt a contemporary style, also delivered with excellence.
