Bear one another’s burdens,
and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
Stephen Ministry provides a caring, nonjudgmental, and confidential one-on-one relationship between a trained church member and a person experiencing a difficult time or transition in life.
What is a stephen minister?
Stephen Ministers provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care and support to people experiencing grief, divorce, cancer, job loss, loneliness, disability, relocation, and other life difficulties.
They come from all walks of life and share a passion for bringing Christ’s love and care to people during a time of need. As close, confidential, and trusting relationships are established, the Care Giver is also trained to offer spiritual care; which is a gift often overlooked in the healing process. The Stephen Minister makes a significant time investment in training, continuous education, and preparation for and meeting with their Care Receiver. Stephen Ministry is a wonderful servant opportunity to help hurting people through Christ.
