  • Stephen Ministry is the one-to-one lay caring ministry that takes place in congregations that use the Stephen Series system. Stephen Ministers are the "After People."  They are ready to come alongside you--or your friends, neighbors, coworkers or relatives--and provide comfort and support for as long after as needed.


    Saint Peter's first Stephen Ministry was created when our Stephen Leaders were trained in August 2013, a week-long intensive training in Pittsburgh PA. They were commissioned on September 15th at our Sunday service. In addition to our six newly commissioned leaders, we also have two previously-trained leaders in our parish who are part of our new ministry. 



  • Stephen Ministers are members of our parish who listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through a difficult time. They have received special training to provide confidential one-to-one support. Your Stephen Minister will meet with you faithfully for as long as there’s a need.

  • Be part of our dedicated team of Stephen Ministers who are involved with helping others along the path of uncertainty.

    The work is gratifying and enriching with a strong bond of trust and friendship developing as you journey through the training. 


    We would like to especially invite gentlemen to give serious consideration due to our need to have male Stephen Ministers to work with male care receivers.

  • If you’re facing a challenge you find difficult to manage on your own, or if you find yourself wearing out your friends and family with your problems, a Stephen Minister might be right for you. Stephen Ministers are specially equipped to walk with you through problems large and small.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Secondary Title

Prayer Shawl Ministry is a ministry in many ways. People, young and old, gather to knit or crochet while offering prayers for their work, each other and for recipients of the shawls; in this way they are forming a small group in the community of faith.  


The shawls go out to those who are in need of healing, to celebrate special events in their lives and to console the grieving. When the recipient wears the shawl, the love, prayers and good wishes of the group are wrapped around him or her. 


We think of this ministry as an example of our labyrinth here at St Peters: 

it is intricate, it is visible, it can be used in many ways, it carries different benefits for different people and the center brings us to a point where we can meet God and each other. More
