Caring in the Name
of Jesus

Stephen ministers are a team of lay ministers trained to render one-on-one care to people who are in need, whether it be surgery or sickness, unemployment, chronic physical or emotional problems, relationship issues, or spiritual struggles.

Stephen Ministers receive on-going education in how to be effective care-givers.  They also receive regular supervision from their pastors and peers.  They pledge themselves to confidentiality and devote themselves to weekly visits of their care-receivers.  This ministry is open to new candidates for training although a new class is usually taught only once a year; people in need who feel they could benefit from a Stephen Ministry relationship are encouraged to contact one of the Leaders.
