Stephen Ministry

We are all called by Jesus to love and care for one another, not just the pastor. Stephen Ministers undergo extensive training to provide Christian care to those in need, utilizing their unique gifts for caring.

Contact A Stephen Minister

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”

John 15:12

Christ Caring for People through People

that’s the motto of Stephen Ministry. The role of Stephen Ministers is to provide confidential spiritual support to individuals experiencing difficult times or crises. A Stephen Minister will listen to you, care for you, support and encourage you, and pray with and for you. This confidential, one-to-one, caring relationship reveals God’s healing love.

If you or someone you know is going through a tough time, a Stephen Minister can provide caring support. Contact a Stephen Ministry Leader to be connected with a Stephen Minister who can offer confidential one-on-one Christian care. They can help you experience the healing power of Christ’s love in your life.
