Build a Team of Lay Caregivers to Transform Lives in Your Congregation

Imagine how much ministry could happen if your congregation had a team of well-trained lay caregivers equipped to provide one-on-one Christian care to people who need it.

Ever thought about becoming a Stephen Minister? Stephen Ministers work alongside pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support for people going through difficult times such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, or loneliness. If you have gifts for caring, encouragement, and listening, please prayerfully consider being a part of this exciting ministry. Our next training will take place in January of 2024.             

Questions about cost, time commitment, or something else? Interested in taking the next step and attending our next workshop?

What is Stephen Ministry?  

Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way will fulfill the law of Christ (Gal 6:2, NRSV).

In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to those in need of care. These may include people who are bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, facing a crisis, or just experiencing difficult times. Stephen Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it. For more information on Stephen Ministry.

Who can be a care receiver?  

Care Receivers are people going through tough times who are being cared for by Stephen Ministers. Care receivers are people—congregation members and others in the community—who receive care from a Stephen Minister. These are people struggling through a difficult time in life—experiencing grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or some other life crisis. Some important guidelines for this caring relationship protect both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister: The relationship between a care receiver and a Stephen Minister is confidential. Men are matched with men; women with women. When a care receiver’s needs exceed what a Stephen Minister can provide, the Stephen Ministry team makes a referral to an appropriate mental health professional or other community resource.
