    What Is Stephen Ministry?

    A Stephen Minister is a trained Christian caregiver who offers a listening ear, prayer, encouragement, and ongoing one-on-one support during difficult seasons.


    Unlike professional counseling, Stephen Ministry focuses on compassionate spiritual and emotional care.

    What Can You Expect?

    Begin with a private conversation with a Stephen Ministry leader. They'll listen to your concerns, explain how the ministry works, and explore the appropriate next steps.


    If matched, you'll typically meet one-on-one with a Stephen Minister each week for encouragement and support.


    Your privacy matters, and the leader can explain the confidentiality guidelines.
