Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one lay caring ministry that takes place in congregations using the Stephen Series system to train and equip lay caregivers to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting or experiencing  difficult times.

Clowns for Christ

Shepherd of the Hills’ Clowns for Christ Team shares God’s love by bringing joy and compassion to people of all ages. Nursing homes, battered women’s shelters, homeless shelters, VBS, church services, and parades are just some of the venues where the team has shared their message of Christ’s love.

Prayer Walk

The prayer walk is a place of solitude in the midst of God’s beauty. During the prayer walk, you will discover signs along the way, each containing a section of the prayer Jesus gave his disciples in Matthew 6:9-13, the Lord’s Prayer.

The walk begins on the lower level on the east side by the church office. Benches are provided along the path as well as a drinking fountain at stop #4. The Prayer Walk ends at the Heritage Garden. The entire walk is about one third of a mile round trip.

This path provides the opportunity for us to circle our church in prayer. We invite you to join in this walk.
