Bringing God’s healing love to people in need. This confidential, Christian caregiving is a vital part of our mission to minister to those who are struggling with difficult life events.

Stephen Ministers are laypeople who have received fifty hours of training and are ready to provide one-to-one Christ-centered care. Each Stephen Minister typically has one care receiver at a time and meets with that person once a week for about an hour. Although God alone is the one who takes broken individuals and makes them whole, we will walk with these people for as long as we are needed.
