Stephen Ministry 

Stephen Ministry is the one-to-one lay caring ministry that takes place in congregations that use the Stephen Series system. Stephen Ministry congregations equip and empower lay caregivers -called Stephen Ministers- to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. (Learn More)
