Campus for Human Development
Emphasizing the Scriptural ideals of love and community through service to the homeless, the Campus for Human Development provides faithful people in Nashville an opportunity to respond directly to the broken and disenfranchised among us. The fellowship with the poor is at the heart of the Campus’ purpose. The Campus provides an extension to the outreach ministry of more than 250 religious congregations in Nashville. The St. Augustine’s community has been involved in a wide range of volunteer activities through the Campus. For more information about their current needs and volunteer opportunities, call them at 615-251-9791.
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry is a ministry of listening. Stephen Ministers are lay members of the congregation that faithfully visit, listen to, encourage and support those experiencing emotional and spiritual crisis, transition, or other difficulty. Stephen Ministers are called upon at times of death, dying, divorce, medical emergency, job loss, relocation, and in many other situations to insure that a person need not face difficulty alone.
Stephen Ministers undergo training that hones their listening skills,
nurtures their spiritual growth, and equips them to care competently and confidently. St. Augustine's Stephen Ministers and the caring relationships that they participate in are overseen by our priest, Rev. Becca Stevens, and a leadership team.
Stephen Ministry is premised on the idea that people provide care for one another, and that God provides cures.
St. Augustine's Chapel became a Stephen Ministry congregation in August 2006. If you would like to meet with a with trained caregiver for a one-on-one confidential relationship, contact Jane McLaughlin or Amy Lyles Wilson (522-1196).
