What is Stephen Ministry?
Stephen Ministry is grounded in Jesus' command to love one another. Through one-to-one caring relationships, those who are hurting receive the love and care they need to support them.
 | Is life more than you can handle alone right now? |
| Are your health, your attitude, or your relationships suffering? |
| Are you adjusting to a new job, change in marital status, a serious illness, the death of a loved one, a recent move? |
| Would you like to have someone in your life who really cares? |
Everyone goes through difficult times. Having someone to care, to listen, to share God/s love with you can help you get through the confusion, stress or loneliness you may be experiencing.
What is a Stephen Minister?
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 how to provide distinctively Christian care. |
A Stephen Minister is NOT...
