Wholeness Ministries
“I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly!” – Jesus (see John 10:10)
Westminster offers a number of ministries to help people find wholeness and the “abundant life” that Jesus promises. Where are you needing more abundance in your life?
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministers are trained laypeople who offer high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. While they are not professional counselors, they offer a listening ear, a caring heart, and a prayerful spirit through life’s challenges. If you would like to be matched with a Stephen Minister or you would like to serve as a Stephen Minister, please contact our church office to speak with our Pastor of Congregational Life, Lori Boehning.
GriefShare
GriefShare is a support group and safe place for those who have lost a loved one through death. Men and women alike have been blessed through the video-based curriculum, group discussions, and personal journeying in their own Lifebook. Although the curriculum is solidly biblically-based, people from all faith backgrounds are welcome. We offer the 13-week session twice a year. A $15.00 donation to cover the cost of materials is appreciated. To learn if a GriefShare group is currently meeting, please contact the church office. For more information, see https://www.griefshare.org/
Grow Your Marriage
Westminster offers date nights with a purpose! We call them GYM Nights around here – Grow Your Marriage Nights. One Friday night/month, couples gather for a delicious meal, laughter, conversation and strength building for their marriage. Babysitting is included in the cost, which is usually $15-25.00/couple. Contact the church office or e-mail Lori Boehning at Lori@wpcmedford.com to find out when the next GYM Night will be held. To receive periodic emails that will strengthen and encourage you in your marriage, contact Lori so you can be added to our GYM night email list.
Marriage and Family Counseling
Our Pastor of Congregational Life, Lori Boehning, provides pastoral counseling and support to individuals, couples and families. If you are a member of the Westminster family, counseling is provided at no cost to you. Please contact Lori through the church office or at 541-326-1870. All inquiries are considered confidential.
