Stephen Ministry is a Lay Ministry within the Christian Congregation.  Stephen Ministers are trained in caring for other Christians during one of the crisis that happens during life.  One on One Caring; extending the love of Christ to our Christian Brothers and Sisters.

What Does a Stephen Minister Do?

A Stephen Minister gives one-to-one, lay Christian care.

• One-to-one: Stephen Ministers meet privately with one care receiver of the

same gender.

• Lay: Stephen Ministers are trained and supervised lay volunteers, not

professional counselors or therapists, pastors, or physicians.

• Christian: Stephen Ministers are Christians who care in the name of Christ.

They are willing to talk about spiritual issues but won’t force them.

• Care: Stephen Ministers care by listening, supporting and encouraging,

praying, being dependable
