STEPHEN MINISTRY: “Christ Caring for People through People” is the motto of Stephen Ministry. The Stephen Minister’s role is to bring God’s love into the lives of people who are going through a difficult time or experiencing a crisis. What do Stephen Ministers do? They listen to you, care for you, support and encourage you and pray for you. And during this confidential, one-to-one, caring relationship, God’s healing love comes pouring through. If you or someone you know is facing a crisis—large or small—and could benefit from the caring presence of a Stephen Minister, talk to one of our Pastors. Our Stephen Ministers are ready to care for you!
