Our congregations's Stephen Ministry equips lay-people to provide one-to-one Christian care to people in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.
Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry, and the identity of those receiving care and everything they discuss with a stephen minister remain private
