Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry offers one-to-one, confidential Christian care to people going through a difficult time. A Stephen Minister is a caring member of our church who has been trained to listen, pray and walk alongside you, not to fix your problems, but to be a faithful, steady presence until you are ready to move forward.

When a Stephen Minister can help

  • The death of a loved one
  • Serious or chronic illness, surgery or recovery
  • Divorce or separation
  • Job loss or financial stress
  • Loneliness, a move or a major life change
  • Caring for an aging parent or a family member
  • A season of spiritual doubt or questions

How it works

  • One-to-one: men care for men and women care for women.
  • Weekly: you and your Stephen Minister usually meet about once a week for an hour.
  • Confidential: what you share stays between you and your caregiver.
  • No cost: Stephen Ministry is a free gift of care from our church family.
