Stephen Ministry

“Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ". Galatians 6:2

Stephen Ministry is:

Lay people providing one-to-one Christian care for hurting people.

Confidential, non-judgmental, dependable, listening, compassionate, trustworthy and Christ centered.

On-going care, continues as long as needed -- often after initial crisis support has ceased.

Who is Stephen Ministry for?

The seriously ill, grieving, abandoned, elderly, those experiencing spiritual crisis, divorce, separation, loss of job, or any other difficulty that could be made easier with the support of a Christian companion.

Stephen Ministers are not:

Professional counselors, ordained pastors or problem "fixers".

Being a Stephen Minister involves:

Using your spiritual gifts.

Learning care giving skills.

The joy of seeing God working to bring hope and healing to a hurting person.

Experiencing the Lord's loving presence in community with other Christian caregivers.
