Caring Connections


    Fall 2025 Stephen Ministry Course

    Caring Connections, a Stephen Ministry-based training course, has been helping RPC members become better listeners and caregivers since 2004. This offering is open to all who wish to explore and improve their skills to lead and serve with compassion. Let us deepen our faith together as we learn how to give back!

    Classes are led by our clergy and RPC Stephen Leaders. Completing these twelve sessions qualifies you to serve as a Friendly Visitor. For those wishing to go further, Caring Connections is foundational for becoming a Stephen Minister, where training and continuing education continues through January 2026, followed by monthly Supervision Meetings. To register, and to reach out for more information, contact Debbie Zingg, or reach out to Becky Ruegger or Mary Versfelt.
