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.

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.
