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, those who are grieving, or feel abandoned, the elderly, those experiencing a spiritual crisis, divorce, separation, loss of a 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".
