Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one lay caring ministry. As a Stephen Ministry congregations we equip and empower lay caregivers—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting.
A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. Twice a month, Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education.
"Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2)
