Stephen Ministry

Our next training will take place:
TBD

Build a Team of Lay Caregivers to Transform Lives in Your Congregation

Imagine how much ministry could happen if your congregation had a team of well-trained lay caregivers equipped to provide one-on-one Christian care to people who need it.

Ever thought about becoming a Stephen Minister? Stephen Ministers work alongside pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support for people going through difficult times such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, or loneliness. If you have gifts for caring, encouragement, and listening, please prayerfully consider being a part of this exciting ministry. Our next training will take place in January of 2024.             

Questions about cost, time commitment, or something else? Interested in taking the next step and attending our next workshop?

What is Stephen Ministry?  

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

In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to those in need of care. These may include people who are bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, facing a crisis, or just experiencing difficult times. Stephen Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it. For more information on Stephen Ministry.

 


Source: Stephen Ministries 

Who can be a care receiver?  

Care Receivers are people going through tough times who are being cared for by Stephen Ministers. Care receivers are people—congregation members and others in the community—who receive care from a Stephen Minister. These are people struggling through a difficult time in life—experiencing grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or some other life crisis. Some important guidelines for this caring relationship protect both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister: The relationship between a care receiver and a Stephen Minister is confidential. Men are matched with men; women with women. When a care receiver’s needs exceed what a Stephen Minister can provide, the Stephen Ministry team makes a referral to an appropriate mental health professional or other community resource.

Below are the group studies we are currently offering.

Tuesdays 7pm-8:30pm – YFMB Room 201 & Zoom Begins February 20th:

Topic:  “Job – A Story of Unlikely Joy” by Lisa Harper. 

Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus. Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away. But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow? In this 7-session study, discover the redemptive facet of Job’s suffering. Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you. 

Leaders: ">Irm Smith and ">Gail Loehr

Leader: Jim Luedecker

Location: YFMB Room 202

Meeting Times: Saturday Mornings 7:00am to 8:30am

Description: Power Hour meets Saturday mornings from 7:00-8:30. It is a group of men seeking to know God better by concentrating on how He speaks to us through Scripture. After an opening prayer, we look at a portion of scripture directly, or use a topical book based on scripture, seeking not only knowledge, but wisdom: wisdom being the application of knowledge learned. But it is more, for it is a place where a man can share personal concerns, seeking help and guidance, knowing that everything discussed will be kept in strictest confidence by the group. We end with a time for prayer, as the Spirit moves us each to do so.

Contact Jim Luedecker () with any questions.

Mens Breakfast 2023Saturday, December 9, 8:00am – 9:30am, Fellowship Hall

The Men’s Ministry is calling all MBC men and their sons to join us on Saturday, March 9th at 8:00am in Fellowship Hall for a time of fellowship, worship, and encouragement at our next Men’s Ministry breakfast.

 

It has been said that two of the greatest proofs for the truth of Scripture and Christianity are the number of fulfilled prophecies we see in Scripture and the power of God to change lives.  At our upcoming breakfast we will have the opportunity to hear from two of our brothers in the Lord and witness how God pursued them and restored them into a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Our brother Amit Nihilani will be sharing the testimony of God’s grace and mercy in their lives. 

 

Your presence will also be an encouragement to the men from Market Street Mission who will also be joining us for this breakfast.

 

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday March 9th.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact:

All men including fathers and their sons are invited to join this event!

For more information, please contact Pete Lima or calling the church office at 908-647-0594.

What is Stand Courageous? 

Where can men, husbands, and fathers find a model of manhood, leadership, and strength in a culture of gender confusion? We need men to be men, tough with compassionate strength, bent toward justice without compromise, locking arms and standing. We need to be the men God created us to be;  warriors for all that is right, true, and just.

Stand Courageous is a ministry that seeks to help men develop a strong biblical character, cultivate positive habits, build and rebuild relationships, and make commitments that will move men closer to God’s good purpose and design – men who will Stand Courageous!

We invite you to join us at a Stand Courageous Men’s Conference to discuss critical aspects of masculinity. These conferences are led by men who struggle with the same issues you do, and will invest in unpacking our role as a defender, provider, instructor, and battle buddy so that we can have the generational influence as a “chaplain” inside and outside the home.

Band of Brothers

At Band of Brothers, we aim to cultivate an environment where young men can support each other through fellowship, Bible reading, and prayer. Our goal is to grow in the Lord as we tackle various topics and read challenging chapters of Scripture. We will delve into the deepest parts of our existence because the Lord Jesus is coming back, and we must be ready. Each of us has a divine assignment and spiritual gifts that we intend to discover and embrace. In short, we are cultivating spiritual warriors for Jesus.

Our Goals: Cultivate a Biblical Worldview. Bear one another’s burdens. Confess sins to one another. Adopt a Biblical view of masculinity. Establish biblical character. Till soil where seed can be planted, watered and bear fruit. Establish ourselves in the ways of the Lord.

Transformed by the grace of God to share Christ’s love to a broken world​.

The teenage years can be some of the most exciting and challenging that we ever face. Here at The Rush, we want to be a place where teenagers will be accepted and loved for who they are as they are challenged to grow in their knowledge, love, and passion for Jesus! We accomplish this through fun and compelling environments on Sundays and Wednesdays, through our retreats, service outreaches, and mission trips. Last summer we took an awesome group of teens to serve and share the love of Christ in Chicago. It was amazing to watch the growth, passion and excitement in our teenagers as they were used by God to reach our world. We desire this for everyone who comes in the doors! We invite you to come and check us out… and jump in with the Rush!
