What is it like to have a Stephen Minister?

If you are in need of care, you are confidentially paired with a Stephen Minister of the same gender. You and your Stephen Minister meet at a private place that you both agree upon, and work out together your weekly meeting times.

The typical meeting is once a week for about an hour. A Stephen Minister is not a professional counselor and does not take the place of a professional counselor if one is needed.

The Stephen Minister’s commitment is to walk beside you, helping you bear your burdens. The Stephen Minister takes time to listen and talk about your situation. Taking the circumstances to the Lord in prayer is the most valuable tool used in the healing process. Together, you and your Stephen Minister discover that God alone is the true Care Giver.
