Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry is the one-to-one lay caring ministry. Stephen Ministers are congregation members trained by Stephen Leaders to offer high-quality, one-to-one Christian care to people going through difficult times (grief, loneliness, divorce, hospitalization, disability, job loss, and many other issues). A Stephen Minister usually meets with a person once a week for about an hour. Stephen Ministers listen, care, encourage, support, and provide emotional and spiritual support to hurting people. The care you receive is confidential, free, and very helpful. Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education.
