What is a Stephen Minister?

Stephen Ministers are church members trained to provide one-on-one care to those experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation.

The main qualities that we look for in Stephen Ministers are a caring heart, a listening ear, a growing relationship with Christ, and a proven trustworthiness. We believe that Christ is the cure giver, as we are the care givers. We do not try to fix anyone. We are not licensed counselors. We are not spiritual directors. We do not sit across from our Care Receivers and preach to them. Stephen Ministry is mostly about listening, supporting, encouraging and simply just being a trustworthy presence in the life of someone who’s hurting.

All applicants will need to go through an interview process. Those selected will be equipped through training where we will provide Stephen Ministers with all the information they need to volunteer in this ministry with confidence in a healthy, Christ-Centered way.
