About Stephen Ministry: Stephen Ministers are members of the congregation who support our pastors in providing distinctively Christian, confidential one-to-one care for individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties. They are trained to listen to their care receivers and respond with understanding and compassion and to provide spiritual guidance and prayer as appropriate.

Contact a Stephen Minister:  If you are experiencing a difficult time in your life, you may benefit from obtaining the care of a Stephen Minister. You can speak with one of our pastors, who may recommend a Stephen Minister chosen just for you to walk with you through your difficult time. You will be respected, not judged, and everything you share will be held in strictest confidence. Men are assigned a male Stephen Minister; women are assigned a female Stephen Minister. Your Stephen Minister will meet with you once a week for about an hour. How many weeks you will meet will depend on your circumstances and needs. Stephen Ministry is process-oriented, which means the Stephen Minister is trained to help you reach a sense of peace in whatever the situation is that you are facing.
