Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry is Christ caring for people through people.
Galatians 6:2 “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Stephen Ministry Congregations equip and empower lay caregivers – called Stephen Ministers – to provide high-quality, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting and going through tough times like grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or some other life crisis.
A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. The relationship between a care receiver and a Stephen Minister is confidential. Men are matched with men and women with women.
Following are examples of support provided by Stephen Ministers to those going through crisis:
- Emotional care
- Spiritual care
- Prayer
- Encouragement
- Listen
- Visit regularly
Please note, the Stephen Ministries does not replace a pastor’s care, it complements and expands the pastor’s care; it helps makes his schedule manageable.
Music Ministry
Music Ministry
Jacob’s Church is blessed with the gifted talents and dedication of believers in the music ministry. The purpose of the music ministry is to share the good news of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, strengthen the faith of the saints through songs, and lead the congregation in a traditional and contemporary style of worship to God through music.
Our Adult Choir sings each Sunday from September through June, plus special services. They provide a variety of music from classical and traditional, as well as contemporary anthems.
The Choir is open to anyone Grade 8 through adult who enjoys music, singing, fellowship, and most importantly, glorifying our Lord through our musical offerings. Rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings from 7:00 – 8:30PM.
During the service, we sing traditional and gospel style hymns accompanied by the organ. The organ in the sanctuary is a 1950 Fritzsche two manual with 22 ranks, which was rebuilt in 1997.
We also have a Praise Team led by our Youth Pastor, Pastor Joshua Gornicz, who contribute to our blended Sunday morning worship service by leading the congregation in contemporary praise songs.
