“Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
What is Stephen Ministry?
Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry equips lay-people to provide one-to-one Christian care to people in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.
Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry. The identity of those receiving care and everything they discuss with a Stephen Minister remain private.
A Stephen Minister Is…..
- A child of God who walks beside someone who is hurting.
- A congregation member who is carefully selected to serve in this role because of his or her caregiving gifts.
- A layperson with 50 hours of training in providing high-quality, distinctively Christian care.
- A caring Christian friend who listens, cares, prays supports and encourages.
- Someone who meets faithfully each week with his or her care receiver for as long as there’s a need.
Come join us and make a difference in someone’s life.
