"Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ"
(Galatians 6.2)

   Stephen Ministry is a way for well-trained  congregation members (called Stephen Ministers) to provide one-on-one, Christ-centered care to parishioners who are facing life challenges.  Those who are matched with a Stephen Minister are referred to as care receivers.

   If you or someone you know is experiencing a difficult time and think you might benefit from having a Stephen Minister, please contact the church office and we will be happy to talk with you about the process in more detail.

   To become a Stephen Minister initially involves a commitment to attend a once-a-week, 20 session training.  Once the training is completed, a Stephen Minister would meet with a care receiver once a week for an hour, and participate in group supervision twice a month.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
