Stephen Ministry

Is life feeling overwhelming at the moment? Have you experienced or are you anticipating a loss or transition? Are you facing a difficult decision?

You may find the support of a Stephen Minister helpful during this period of time. Stephen Ministers are lay congregation members trained to provide confidential one-on-one Christ-centered care to people who are going through difficult times. They have a compassionate heart for those who are hurting. A Stephen Minister typically meets with you once a week to listen, care, pray, encourage, and offer emotional and spiritual support. Stephen Ministry is appropriate for anyone experiencing a wide variety of life struggle issues, including grief, divorce, cancer, hospitalization, physical rehabilitation, long-term care, chronic illness, terminal illness, job loss, military deployment, loss of a home, the onset of a disability and spiritual crisis. All referrals and meetings are confidential.
