Stephen Ministry Training

Midway UMC as a church relies upon our trained Stephen Ministers to help support the pastoral staff in offering care to our members and our community.

A Stephen Minister helps provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ centered care to people in our congregation and our community. As a Stephen Minister you have the blessing of being able to walk alongside people experiencing difficulties in life.

Midway has a specific need for more female Stephen Ministers but all are welcome to signup for training.

As a church we partner with Cumming Baptist for all the training sessions. Training is held on Saturdays from January to May.

If you would like to learn more, please contact the church office in order to get contact information for Jane Scudder or Patti Ann Allen
