Our Stephen Ministry

In May 2007 ten more lay people from The Church of the Red Rocks congregation were commissioned as Stephen Ministers and join 26 previously trained Stephen ministers and leaders. This rite of commissioning culminated six months
of special, intensive training.

Church of the Red Rocks is the only Stephen Ministry affiliated congregation in Northern Arizona...and one of few in Arizona!

Stephen Ministers provide one-to-one Christian care

More than a million people have been cared for by a Stephen Minister since 1975.

Stephen Ministers are trained and supervised by lay caregivers to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation (and community) who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. This can be a life crisis such as hospitalization, retirement, death of a loved one, divorce, sudden custody of grandchildren, unemployment, aging, birth of a child, empty nest, loneliness or any other transitional issue in one's daily life.



The Stephen Ministry concept began in 1975 when the Rev. Kenneth C. Haugk, Ph.D. and a pastor and clinical psychologist, trained nine lay persons at his congregation in St. Louis to be Stephen Ministers. Over the years Dr. Haugk began a not-for-profit, transdenominational, religious organization to train others to provide this distinctly Christian care.

If you live in the Sedona area and wish to have a Stephen Minister call on you, please call us at the church. The pastor will talk with you about this need and assign someone to help you through your difficulty. Telephone: 928-282-7963.
