Stephen Ministry
What is a Stephen Minister?
A Stephen Minister is a church member who is trained in compassion and empathetic listening to provide one-to-one care to those experiencing a difficult time in life such as grief, divorce, job loss, or illness.
Your Stephen Minister will walk alongside you, ready to focus on your concerns in a nonjudgmental way. They will faithfully meet with you on a weekly basis for an hour a week for several weeks or months as the need indicates. Stephen Ministers are trustworthy, dependable, confidants who will keep everything you say and even your identity confidential. They will pray and share scripture at your request and show you Christ’s love. Stephen Ministers are not counselors or therapists, but have gone through 50+ hours of training.
