Madison Street United Methodist Church

Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry is a ministry of listening and caring carried out by trained lay persons from our congregation. Each Stephen Minister is required to complete a minimum of 50+ hours of intense training in both care-giving and communication/listening skills. Stephen Ministers are assigned to care-receivers based on gender and the expertise of the Stephen Minister and expected to build a caring relationship with the care-receiver. Including the time needed for training, each Stephen Minister makes an initial two year commitment. To contact a Stephen Minister, contact Rev. SungNam Kim at (931) 647-0221 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
