Stephen Ministry |
 |
The Stephen Ministry is a confidential,
lay-caring ministry grounded in Jesus' command to love
one another. Those who are hurting receive love and support
through one-to-one caring relationships. The ministry
is named after Stephen, one of the first deacons in the
early Christian church, commissioned by the apostles to
care for the needs of people in the Christian community.
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 a recent
move?
- Would you like to have someone in your life that really
cares?
Everyone goes through difficult times.
Having someone to care, to listen, and to share God's love
can help you get through the confusion, stress, or loneliness
that you may be experiencing.
