Are you struggling in one of life's storms?

Stephen Ministry is a one-on-one care ministry. We match a trained Stephen Minister with an individual needing high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care during a difficult time in life such as bereavement, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, relocation, or separation due to military deployment.

Let Us Help You

What season are you in?

• Are you new to the community and feeling uprooted?
• Do you doubt God's presence and love for you?
• Do your job worries seem too great to handle?
  
• Are you or someone you love facing hospitalization or surgery?
• Are you feeling depressed? Do you often wish you had someone to share your thoughts with?
• Are you confused about events in your life?
• Are you hurting?

A Stephen Minister is:

• A caring Christian desiring to offer support to others in their time of need by listening, encouraging, praying, being dependable and trustworthy, and maintaining confidentiality in their care giving.
• A sharing Christian bringing who he/she is to each helping relationship, as a partner in another person’s life experiences.
• A trained Christian having developed helping skills through intensive coursework.
• A dedicated Christian, one committed to confidential, in-depth caring.

A Stephen Minister is not:

• A professional pastor, therapist, counselor, or psychologist.
• A social worker providing lots of physical services.
• An expert in law, finance, church doctrine, etc.
• A brief, superficial visitor “touching base” with people every now and then.
