What is Stephen Ministry?

Stephen Ministry is a program that equips members of our congregation to provide distinctively Christian, confidential, one-to-one care to others in our church family who are undergoing spiritual suffering.

Stephen Ministers care for people who are:

  • Hospitalized
  • Coping with a terminal illness
  • Caring for a family member with a terminal illness
  • Grieving the death of a loved one
  • Homebound
  • Suffering from marital separation or divorce
  • Alone or discouraged


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 Christian care-giving
  • Compassionate, full of empathy
  • Full of faith
  • Skilled
  • Trustworthy


A Stephen Minister is NOT...

  • A counselor or therapist
  • A problem-solver
  • A casual visitor
