Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one ministry by trained, caring lay ministers. Through one-to-one caring and confidential relationships, those who are hurting receive the love and care they need to support them through particularly challenging times.

A Stephen Minister serves those who are:

• Facing hospitalization, disability or the unknown
• Bereaved, lonely or depressed
• Experiencing a personal, family or job crisis
• Terminally ill
• In need of a listening friend

A Stephen Minister is not:

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

People are Renewed Spiritually

The Stephen Ministry invites change in human hearts. This ministry is a demonstration of how God comes to us through other people, and how God comes to other people through us.

How do I request a Stephen Minister ?

Please contact a member of the pastoral staff or a Stephen Leader through the church. You may discuss with them the need for a Stephen Minister for yourself or for someone you know. A Stephen Minister will only be assigned with the permission of the person in need, and under conditions of strictest confidence.

Contact the church office for further information.
