Presbyterian Women’s Association

Life Force Group:
Meets the 2nd Tuesday night of each month from 6:30-8:30 pm in Room 208. This group began in February 2001 to meet the spiritual and fellowship needs of young adults. We targeted what we call "youthful adults". However, we did have to come up with a target age range and it is from approximately 24 to 40ish years of age. This group is not defined by age or marital status. There are single, married, and married with children individuals involved in our group. Our main goal is to seek individuals who want to deepen their faith and grow spiritually. Our group wants exploring Christians who are questioning, struggling with faith issues, and striving to deepen their faith. We are seeking Christ, and seeking the support of others while on their continuous faith journey. For more information contact Julie Shannon at 251-9489 ext. 26 or jshannon@northminster-indy.org.

A ministry for church members and friends.
Stephen Ministers are trained lay people who are available to "walk with you" when you have hit a bump in the road of life. Stephen Ministers are not there to solve your problem, but to be with you, to listen, to be non-judgmental, to keep all conversations confidential, and to be a consistent Christian caregiver.
