Stephen Ministry

For when you or someone you know is in need of care

What is Stephen Ministry?

Stephen Ministry is grounded in Jesus' command to love one another. Through one-to-one caring relationships, those who are hurting receive the love and care they need to support them.
- Is life more than you can handle alone right now?
- Are your health, your attitude, or your relationships suffering?
- Are you adjusting to a new job, change in marital status, a serious illness, the death of a loved one, a recent move?
- Would you like to have someone in your life who really cares?

Everyone goes through difficult times. Having someone to care, to listen, to share God's love with you can help you get through the confusion, stress, or loneliness you may be experiencing.

What is a Stephen Minister?

A Stephen Minister is...
- A child of God who walks beside a hurting person

- A caring Christian friend who really listens
- A lay person who has received 50 hours of training in how to provide distinctively Christian care.

A Stephen Minister is NOT...
- A counselor or therapist
- A problem-solver;
- A casual visitor.

Beloved, since god loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. 1 John 4:11-12
