Stephen Ministers provide Christ-centered support during life’s difficult seasons.


ABOUT STEPHEN MINISTRY

We all experience challenges in life - times when we could benefit from the support of a caring Christian friend.  Stephen Ministers are people who receive training to provide one-to-one Christian care to people in our congregation and community experiencing grief, loneliness, divorce, hospitalization, disability, job loss, and many other life difficulties.

Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry: The identity of those receiving care and what takes place in each caring relationship remains private.
