Stephen Ministry

Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
(Galatians 6:2, NRSV)

Seek a Stephen Minister

Do you know someone going through a difficult time? Do you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or relative who has been struggling with the loss of a loved one, loneliness, cancer, a layoff, relocation, divorce, a spiritual crisis, recuperation, single parenthood, or any of countless other life challenges?

Our Stephen Ministers can provide them with the focused care, encouragement, and support they need to make it through the crisis. If you know of someone who is hurting, talk with one of our Stephen Leaders: Natalie Maenhout, Linda Mitchell-Powell or Pastor White. They can talk with you about how we can connect the person you know with one of our Stephen Ministers. It’s a great way for you to show how much you care!

Be a Stephen Minister

Do you have a passion for bringing Christ’s love and care to people during a time of need? Stephen Ministers are laypeople—Christian men and women—trained to provide one-to-one care to people experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, relocation, or separation due to military deployment.

Stephen Ministers are trained by their congregation’s Stephen Leaders. The training they receive in the congregation equips them to provide high-quality care to people who are hurting.

Contact Pastor Brian White if you are interested.
