Most people have friends and family they can turn to for emotional and concrete support in a difficult phase of life. So what additional value does a Stephen minister offer?
How about fresh perspective, objectivity and balance? A place to be honest about where you are without having to weigh the reaction of a loved one. An opportunity to process and express your inner thoughts and feelings without judgment from the listener. A structure for deep and consistent support and connection. A process for identifying and exploring new directions. The stress relief that comes from just getting something off your chest in a confidential environment. Support to seek the positive in change seasons. Shared faith and spiritual strength and a commitment to pray daily – for you!

Our Stephen Ministry team is committed and passionate about their role in the kingdom, helping God’s children move closer to Him and His blessings in the midst of the ups and downs of this earthly life, and standing together, whole and wholly healed, one day with the Father in Heaven. |
