What Is a Stephen Minister?

Stephen Ministers are lay congregation members trained to provide one-to-one care to those experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation.

Stephen Ministers come from all walks of life, but they all share a passion for bringing Christ’s love and care to people during a time of need.

Since 1975, more than 600,000 people from more than 13,000 congregations and other organizations have been trained as Stephen Ministers.

Our Stephen Ministry team is available to come along side you in the hard times of life that we all have from time to time.  While a Stephen Minister is not a counselor, a Stephen Minister is a caring friend, who listens and prays for you. There is no charge for Stephen Ministry.

All Stephen Ministry is confidential.  If you would like to know know more about possible having a Stephen Minister come along side to help you, please let us know. You can send us an email at crumc@southslope.net
