Grief Spiritual Struggles
Divorce Family and relationship issues

Medical Crises And many other needs for care
The Benefits of Stephen Ministry:
Pastors…have a team of trained lay caregivers to help them in handling the caregiving needs of the congregation.
Laypeople…are equipped for meaningful ministry that uses their spiritual gifts to provide invaluable care to those who are suffering.
Hurting people…receive much needed emotional and spiritual support in the midst of life’s struggles.
Stephen Ministers DO NOT give advice or make diagnoses; THEY DO offer care, comfort, and spiritual support, (prayer), by being with their care receivers an hour each week.
