What is Stephen Ministry?

Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ (Galations 6:2, NRSV)

Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one lay caring ministry. Caregivers - called Stephen Ministers - provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. Twice a month Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education.

A Stephen Minister helps people dealing with:

  • Illness/hospitalization
  • Family challenges
  • Loneliness
  • Death or serious loss
  • Divorce
  • Disability
  • Faith issues
  • Job loss
  • Financial difficulties
  • Stress of being a caregiver
  • Life transitions

A Stephen Minister:

  • Listens
  • Encourages
  • Keeps confidences
  • Prays
  • Supports
