           The Stephen Ministry Difference
With Stephen Ministry--
  • Pastors don't carry the  burden of being the congregation's sole caregivers. They have a team of gifted, trained, committed lay caregivers ready to minister to hurting people inside and outside the congregation.
  • Laypeople have a chance to use and strengthen their leadership and caregiving gifts in meaningful ministry--serving others while experiencing tremendous spiritual
    growth.

  • People who are hurting no longer suffer alone. A caring Christian friend comes alongside them to provide emotional and spiritual care for as long as the need persists.
  • Congregations have a practical, powerful way to:
​            ~   "Equip God's people for the work of ministry,
                   for building up the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:12)

            ~   "Love one another as I have loved you." (John 13:34)

            ~   "Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will
                  fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)
​
            ~   "Go make disciples." (Matthew 28:19)
