RECEIVE CARE THROUGH STEPHEN MINISTRY
If you are in need of care, you are paired with a believer of the same gender. The Stephen Minister and care receiver meet at a private place and time of mutual agreement. The typical meeting is once a week for one hour, though each caring relationship is as unique as the circumstances and people involved. The Stephen Minister’s commitment is to walk beside you, helping you bear your burdens (Galatians 6:2). The Stephen Minister takes time to listen and talk about your situation, taking the circumstances to the Lord in prayer. Together, you and your Stephen Minister discover that God alone is the true Care Giver.
