Stephen Ministry Care

Stephen Ministry offers a proven and effective way to organize, equip, and supervise a team of congregation members—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people in the congregation and the community experiencing life difficulties.


Stephen Ministry Caregivers are lay congregation members trained to provide one-to-one Christ-centered care. They have a compassionate heart for those who are hurting, and they’ve been equipped with caring ministry skills by their congregation’s Stephen Leaders. A Stephen Ministry Caregiver typically has one care receiver at a time and meets with that person once a week to listen, care, pray, encourage, and offer emotional and spiritual support.


Stephen Ministry is appropriate for people experiencing:

- grief

- divorce

- cancer

- hospitalization

- physical rehabilitation

- long-term care

- chronic illness

- terminal illness

- job loss

- loss of a home

- military deployment

- the onset of a disability

- spiritual crisis

- & many other life struggles
