Stephen Ministry

What is Stephen Ministry?

Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who receive special training to listen, care, encourage, and provide one-on-one emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through tough times. Stephen Ministry care is confidential and free.


Stephen Ministers care for those who might be going through:


o  Grief

o  Loneliness

o  Health Issues

o  Aging Challenges

o  Caregiver Stress

o  Divorce

o  Hospitalization

o  Job Crisis

o  Family Changes

o  Retirement

o  Spiritual Crisis

o  Anxiety

o  Relocation / Downsizing

o  Other Life Difficulties 





Are you – or do you know someone in the community – going through a tough time? Call the church office at (803) 327-2006 to contact a Stephen Minister.
