Stephen Ministry

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest". Matt. 11:28
Is life more than you can handle alone right now?
Are you adjusting to a new job, loss of job, a change in marital status, a serious illness (for yourself or a loved one), the death of a loved one, a recent move - or just experiencing a lonely or difficutl time in your life?

Could you benefit from having someone who would listen and care and walk with you through this difficult time?
Consider allowing a Stephen minister to walk with you on your journey to wholeness. Stephen Ministers are for anyone facing a crisis and countless other life challenges. All conversations are confidential - a Stephen Minister provides you with One-on-One Christian care, an ear to listen ... to walk with you through a crisis or difficult time.

A Stephen Minister IS...

• a child of God who walks beside a hurting person;
• a caring Christian who really listens;
• a trained member of our congregation;
• a person who is ready to focus on your needs
• a trustworthy confident who will keep everything you say - confidential.

A Stephen Minister is NOT ...

• a counselor or therapist,
• a problem-solver
• someone who runs errands or helps with chores; or
• a casual visitor

Are you in need .. do you know someone in need ... then contact our Stephen Leader listed below- and he can tell you more about our Stephen Ministry and how you or a friend can be matched with a Stephen Minister.
