Stephen Ministers
What is a Stephen Minister?
Stephen Ministers are lay congregation members trained to provide one-to-one care to those experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation.
They come from all walks of life, but they all share a passion for bringing Christ’s love and care to people during a time of need.
Do Stephen Ministers care for people outside their congregation?
Yes. Stephen Ministers often provide care for people in the broader community, enhancing and expanding outreach in a powerful way.
Are You Struggling?

Our Stephen Ministers are here to help.

This care is entirely confidential—no one knows the identity of a care receiver except for their Stephen Minister and the pastor or Stephen Leader who paired them together. The care receivers featured here willingly volunteered to share their stories.
