Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who have received 50+ hours of training by our Stephen Leaders to offer high-quality, confidential, one-on-one Christian care to our parishioners in crisis. Having someone listen, care, share God’s love with you, and walk beside you, can help you (or a loved one) get through the bumps in the road of life’s journey. Stephen Ministers are ready to provide the emotional and spiritual care you need.
