Mission Statement:
"To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the
body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full
stature of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12-13).
People Who Need Care . . .
• Receive quality, Christ-centered, confidential care for their hurts
and needs
• Find hope, healing, and a new sense of self-worth through the support
of a Stephen Minister
• Know they are remembered and supported by their congregation in times
of personal difficulty
• Receive ongoing care for continuing needs long after the onset of a
crisis, when many others have forgotten about them
• Grow in a deeper relationship with their Lord as they experience God's
unconditional love for them through their Stephen Minister
In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen
Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to the bereaved,
hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed,
relocated, and others facing a crisis or life challenge. Stephen
Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry
for as long as people need it.
Stephen Ministers are those trained and supervised lay caregivers who
provide one-to-one Christian care to hurting people.
