Stephen Ministy is appropriate for anyone whose basic coping skills are intact, but could use another’s caring presence to assist them as they journey through life’s transitions and challenges.

Do you or does someone you know fall into any of these types of situations? If so, consider Stephen Ministry for:

  • people who are sick or hospitalized.
  • individuals who are terminally or chronically ill.
  • people convalescing at home or in an institution.
  • people who are caring for someone else in difficulty.
  • people who are bereaved.
  • people who are lonely.
  • persons who are separated or are in the process of divorce (before, during or after).
    those having a pregnancy (wanted or unwanted), and the families involved.
    single parents.
  • parents and families with handicapped children or family members.
  • families who have someone in a nursing home.
  • parents who have children leaving home for college, marriage, or to work in another geographical area.
  • people in the process of moving into or out of town.
  • new members of the congregation and/or the community.
  • those who are inactive in the church and are looking for a way back to the church.
  • people who have suffered a significant financial setback or a job loss.
  • people recently retired or who have been forced to retire early.
  • persons affected by a natural disaster.
  • persons who are victims of crime.
