Stephen Ministry

There are times when every one of us experiences difficulties in life. God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone. Stephen Ministry seeks to bring Jesus’ love to hurting people through caring relationships. 

Stephen Ministers

Stephen Ministers experience more than 50 hours of training to provide one-to-one, confidential Christian care to those who are bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, or relocated, and others who are facing a crisis or life challenge. Stephen Ministers are not counselors; they are trained lay caregivers who are there to listen and care. They are willing to talk about spiritual issues but won’t force them. They care by listening, supporting, encouraging, praying, being dependable and trustworthy and maintaining confidentiality in their care giving. Stephen Ministers bring the care, God brings the cure.
