Stephen Ministers
Stephen Ministry is our congregation's one-to-one care giving ministry. God works through Stephen Ministers to plant a seed of hope and healing in a person whose life seems barren and forlorn because of some crisis or tragedy.
Water the seed
Stephen Ministry training will equip you, and our congregation will support you, so that you can show God's mercy, care and compassion to another who is hurting. You will walk beside your care receiver, pray for him or her, and help him or her work through life's difficulties.
God will make it grow

 

Through this ministry, God will bring forth new life and renewed faith in both your care receiver and in you as a Stephen Minister.
