The Stephen Ministry is composed of trained lay people who journey alongside those in the congregation who are going through a difficult transition. Stephen Ministry is not therapy, nor is it a brand of professional counseling. Rather, it is faith-centered care giving, a pastoral relationship offered to those who may need more regular and ongoing care than our pastors can provide.
