When someone you know is in need of care...

Stephen Ministers Care

 What is Stephen Ministry?

Stephen Ministry is grounded in Jesus' command to love one another. Through one-to-one caring relationships, those who are hurting receive the love and care they need to support them.

• Is life more than you can handle alone right now?

• Is your health, your attitude, or your relationships suffering?

• Are you adjusting to a new job, change in marital status, a serious illness, the death of a loved one, or recent move?

• Would you like to have someone in your life who really cares?

Everyone goes through difficult times. Having someone to care, to listen, and to share God's love with you can help you get through the confusion, stress, or loneliness you may be experiencing.

What is a Stephen Minister?

A Stephen Minister is ...

• A child of God who walks beside a person who is hurting

• A caring, Christian friend who takes the time to really listen

• A lay person who has received 50 hours of training in how to provide distinctly Christian care

A Stephen Minister is NOT...

• A counselor or a therapist
• A problem-solver
• A casual visitor

What are the needs with which Stephen Ministry can help?

We help those who are ...

• Hospitalized
• Terminally Ill
• Bereaved
• In a job crisis
• Disabled
• Homebound
• Lonely
• New church members
• In a spiritual crisis
• Looking for a caring, Christian friend

Consider allowing a Stephen Minister to walk with you on your journey to wholeness.

Call on someone who cares.
