Ministries of St. Stephen’s

“Ministry” is from the Greek word diakoneo, meaning “to serve.”  In the New Testament, leadership is seen as sacrificial service for others to the glory of God.  Jesus provided the pattern for ministry—He came not to receive service, but to give it (Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 13:1-17).

The Christian should minister by meeting people’s needs with love and humility on Christ’s behalf (Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43; John 2:5,9; Acts 6:3; Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Colossians 4:12). Christians are to love and serve anyone and everyone.
