Stephen Ministry

What is Stephen Ministry? Stephen Ministry a confidential ministry, 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. Everyone goes through difficult times. Having someone to care, to listen, to share God's love with you can help you get through the confusion, stress, or loneliness you may have. A Stephen Minister is

• a caring Christian friend who really listens and who walks beside a hurting person
• a lay person who has received 50+ hours of training in how to provide distinctively Christian care

A Stephen Minister is NOT a counselor nor therapist; nor a problem-solver; nor a casual visitor.

Contact Pastor Dawn Teuthorn for referral to a Stephen Minister.
