Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry is 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.
