STEPHEN MINISTRY
Supporting others in tough times
Are you going through a new season of life?
Are you overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, hurting, angry or sad?
Would you like to have someone there, just to listen, and walk alongside you through this difficult time?
Then a Stephen Minister is for you!
-
Stephen Ministry is Christ-centered, confidential, one on one care, and pairs up people who are going through difficult times with one of our Stephen Ministers. It’s Christ caring for people through people.
-
The caring relationship meets weekly, during a time that works with your schedule, to be a listening ear, offer encouragement, and to simply be a trusted presence in your life. It’s really like a spiritual companion who is there to offer Christ centered care for you.
-
The caring relationship will last as long as there is a need. Some have lasted a couple months and others have continued for a few years. You and your Stephen Minister will decide what is best for you.
-
Simply fill out THIS FORM and let us know you’re interested. We will be back in touch with you to set up a time to talk about your situation to ensure that Stephen Ministry is right for you. After that, it’s as simple as connecting you with a Stephen Minister, and you both can plan your first meeting!
