Our Congregation's Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

A Stephen Minister Is… 

• A child of God who walks beside a person who is hurting
• A congregation member with a gift for caregiving, who was carefully selected to serve in this role
• A lay person who has received training in providing emotional and spiritual care
• A caring, Christian friend who listens, cares, prays, supports, and encourages
• Someone who will “be there” for his or her care receiver, meeting faithfully for about one hour each week for as long as there is a need

We all experience challenges in life – times when we could benefit from the support of a caring Christian friend.  Stephen Ministers are ready to provide the emotional and spiritual care we need when faced with a crisis or difficulty. Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry:  the identity of those receiving care and what takes place in each caring relationship remains private. If you (or someone you know) are experiencing a difficulty such as:

• Loss of a loved one
• Hospitalization
• Divorce or separation
• Loneliness or discouragement
• Spiritual crises
• Unemployment or job crisis
• Terminal illness
• Incarceration
• Aging
• Birth, adoption, miscarriage or infertility
• Chronic illness
• Relocation
• Family conflict
• Recovery after an accident or disaster
• And many more

…then Stephen Ministry may be right for you.
