IF a person - you, a relative, or a friend - is experiencing difficult times and could benefit from Christian care.

• A Stephen Ministry Referrals Coordinator learns about this need for care - from the clergy, the person, or a friend, but always with the person's permission.
• The Referrals Coordinator meets with the person to talk about Stephen Ministry.
• With the person's permission, the Referrals Coordinator assigns a Stephen Minister to meet with the person, usually on a weekly basis.
• The Stephen Minister provides distinctively Christian and strictly confidential care for the person on a regularly scheduled basis, usually weekly.
• Stephen Ministers meet twice monthly for peer group supervision, a forum through which the Stephen Ministers receive support and advice, while maintaining strict confidentiality.

If you would like to explore having a Stephen Minister, let Pastor Carter know, or contact our Stephen Ministry Leader for a confidential discussion.
