A Stephen Minister is….

• A child of God who walks beside a hurting person;
• A caring Christian who really listens;
• A member of our congregation who has received 50 hours of training in how to provide distinctively Christian care;
• A person who is ready to focus on your needs;
• A trustworthy confidant who will keep everything you say – and even your identity – confidential; and
• Someone who will faithfully meet with you on a weekly basis for as long as your need persists.

• A counselor or therapist;
• A problem-solver;
• Someone who runs errands or helps with chores or;
• A casual visitor

Because the Bible tells us to:

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

“Encourage one another and build each other up.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11a

“Live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers and sisters, be compassionate and humble.”
1 Peter 3:8

There is no need to struggle alone.  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 be experiencing. God does not intend for you to struggle alone.
Consider allow a Stephen Minister to walk with you on your journey to wholeness.
