STEPHEN MINISTRY
A Christian education organization and lay caregiving system where trained congregation members provide confidential, one-to-one, Christ-centered support to individuals experiencing life difficulties.
Core Principles
- Not Counseling: Ministers offer supportive presence and spiritual care rather than professional therapy or advice.
- Strict Confidentiality: The identity of the care receiver and what is discussed remain strictly private.
- Extensive Training: Volunteers complete comprehensive preparation in listening, boundaries, and distinctively Christian care.
