Faith Never Sleeps
Pastor Stephen Reyner leads the congregations at Chandler's Chapel United Methodist Church and its sister Church Duncan's Chapel, both located in the rural countryside outside of Auburn, Kentucky. Reyner feels that too many modern ministers do not reach out enough beyond the church walls. Reyner makes extra efforts to carry his faith outside of the church and his home and into the community he is committed to serving.
Pastor Reyner prays with Janice Howell, 65, of Auburn, Ky, for her health and well being at Auburn Health Care on Pearl Street. The woman he went to visit had been moved to the hospital, but Reyner stopped off in the dining room to sing hymns with his acoustic guitar to the other residents of the nursing home. Afterwards he went around to each one and prayed with them individually. Reyner is worried that visitation in ministry is dying, “You gotta go to peoples homes, you gotta reach out,” said Reyner.
Pastor Reyner implements contemporary ministry into his services at both of his chapels, often accompanying the piano player with his acoustic guitar while singing hymns. “Would you sing this prayer as we prepare our hearts to pray tonight,” said Reyner during Sunday night service at Chandler’s Chapel.
Pastor Reyner leads the congregation at Chandler’s Chapel in a prayer circle during Sunday evening service. The purpose of the prayer circle was to voice concerns and offer thanks. “This is our chance to stand together in prayer and we thank you very much,” said Reyner. A major subject of prayer on this particular evening were the victims of the Virginia Tech school shooting that occured the previous Tuesday on April 16. Coincidentally, the number of people in this prayer circle, 33, was equal to the number of people killed as a result of the shootings. “We love you father, and we have been shook by this tragedy that took as many people’s lives as are around this circle...Bless them with the eternal life of Christ himself,” said Reyner during the prayer.
Pastor Reyner leads his Chandler’s Chapel congregation in worship at the Sunday morning service . “How does God carry on such a deep, personal relationship with all of us? It’s by the Spirit, by the invisible Spirit of God,” said Reyner.

Pastor Reyner and his wife Cindy work in their garden behind their house. They just recently bought the home because his church was able to give him a housing allowance, and they enjoy working together on domestic projects.
Pastor Reyner horses around with Ashley Holman, 6, the granddaughter of his neighbor. Ashley and her brother Wesley, 3, are staying with their grandmother while their mother is dealing with health problems.
Evenings bring down time for the Reyners giving Cindy time to do some sewing and sing along with Pastor Reyner when he practices songs for his services.Multimedia
