Support Through Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry
The Stephen Ministry Program is a caring, non-judgmental and confidential one-to-one relationship between a trained volunteer and a person experiencing a difficult time or transition in his/her life. Stephen Ministers complete a four-month training course covering Christian caregiving and crisis intervention, followed by twice-monthly supervision and continuing education sessions. In addition, they are committed to providing a listening and supportive environment to those in need of care. Stephen Ministers commit to serve others and participate in regular supervision groups for an initial two-year period, though many choose to serve for much longer.
