What is Stephen Ministry?
Our purpose is to love like Jesus by walking alongside those who are hurting, with compassion, empathy, and skill.
Stephen Ministry equips lay-people to provide one-to-one Christian care to hurting people in our congregation and community. All of our Stephen Ministers have received extensive training in providing high-quality, distinctively Christian care. They are effective listeners, and have been taught to listen, care, pray, support, and encourage those who are hurting, are going through a life transition such as the loss of a loved one or adjusting to a new job, or are just in need of someone to talk to.
Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry. The identity of those receiving care and everything they share is kept in complete confidence. The care receiver featured in the video below stepped forward willingly to share her story with Stephen Ministries.
