go? Do you need someone right now, someone who cares? Someone who listens? Perhaps Stephen Ministry is just what you need!

Stephen Ministry is one way our congregation provides high-quality care and outreach to hurting people in our church and community. Whether you lost someone you loved dearly, are going through a spiritual crisis, or simply want to talk to someone who cares, Stephen Ministers are ready to provide emotional and spiritual support when you need it most. The identity of those receiving care and the subject of each caring relationship remains confidential.
