Stephen Minister Training

A Wonderful Journey

John Castiglione said being a Stephen Minister has been the “most wonderful journey” for him. That journey started with training to become a Stephen Minister, and it’s continued as he’s provided Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. “Being a Stephen Minister has taught me not just to listen with my ears, but to listen also with my heart,” Castiglione said. “Care receivers feel as if they are not going through daily life by themselves. They have a Stephen Minister to walk alongside them in their journey. Everyone experiences challenges in their lives at times and could benefit from the support of a caring Christian.”

If you feel called to be part of this caring ministry, please register below. There is no obligation. Pastor Angie will contact you with more information.

If you or someone you know, needs this support, contact Pastor Angie. 

Acworth UMC is looking for a part-time Assistant Director of NextGen Ministries. This person is responsible to support the Next Gen Director to sustain and grow a powerful children, youth, and family ministry; providing a role model of a Christ-centered life and encouraging active faith in the church. If interested send resume to office@acworthumc.org.
