Learn, Grow, and Serve by Becoming a Stephen Minister
Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who provide one-to-one care to those experiencing a difficult time in life.

A Stephen Minister Is …

• A child of God who walks beside someone who is hurting.

• A congregation member who is carefully selected to serve in this role because of his or her caregiving gifts.

• A member with 50 hours of training in providing high-quality, distinctively Christian care.

• A caring Christian friend who listens, cares, prays, supports, and encourages.

• Someone who meets faithfully each week with his or her care receiver for as long as there’s a need.

Through Stephen Ministry, you’ll be equipped to provide a very high level of care. After your training, our Stephen Leaders will match you with someone in need - men are matched with men, and women with women. You’ll meet with that person once a week to listen, care, pray, encourage, and reflect Christ’s presence in his or her life. Stephen Ministry is life-changing for both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister. As an added bonus, your Stephen Minister skills can enhance relationships in other areas of your life as well.
