Stephen Ministry offers Christ-centered care and support to those walking through difficult seasons of life.

Stephen Ministry is a Christ-centered care ministry rooted in the biblical call to care for one another.

— Galatians 6:2Trained members of the congregation provide compassionate, one-to-one care for those walking through difficult seasons of life.

Stephen Ministers are trained volunteers who provide confidential, Christ-centered care. They are often called “after people” because they come alongside individuals following a crisis or life challenge.
They listen, encourage, pray, and walk with people through difficult seasons for as long as care is needed.

A Stephen Minister meets one-on-one with a care receiver, usually once a week for about an hour. Through this ongoing relationship, they offer consistent support, encouragement, and prayer during difficult seasons.
Care receivers may be members of the congregation or individuals in the community who are experiencing grief, illness, loss, or other life challenges.

Through Stephen Ministry, care is extended in meaningful and practical ways as people walk alongside one another during difficult seasons.
“Love one another as I have loved you.”
— John 15:12Through this ministry:
• Those who are hurting receive emotional and spiritual support.
• Caregivers use their gifts to serve and encourage others.
• The church lives out Christ’s call to love and care for one another. -
Stephen Ministry is led by trained Stephen Leaders who provide guidance and oversight within the church.
Stephen Ministers receive training and ongoing support so they can offer thoughtful, compassionate care rooted in Christ.
