Christ Caring for People Through People
Stephen Ministry equips people to provide distinctively Christian
one-to-one care to those who are experiencing all kinds of life needs and circumstances, both in our congregation and community.
Stephen Ministers express God's care through their lives to others; receive 50 hours of initial training in important caring ministry skills and concepts; visit other people regularly and dependably, offer Christian support and care; and remain committed to preserving the confidential nature of the caring relationship.
Stephen Ministry meets the needs of people, including but not limited to:
• The hospitalized
• The terminally ill and their families
• People who move into or out of our community
• Those grieving a death or serious loss
• The homebound and institutionalized
• Prisoners, ex-offenders and their families
• Those with a job crisis
• The aging and elderly
• Those with disabilities and their families
• Those needing the support of a Christian friend
• Those facing life transitions
• The separated or divorced
• Households experiencing birth or adoption
• Those in spiritual crisis
