How does Stephen Ministry work?

When someone requests a Stephen Minister, our Stephen Ministry Referral Coordinators, will meet with that person, explain what Stephen Ministry is, and help determine whether Stephen Ministry is the kind of care that person needs. Our Coordinators then match that person with one of our available Stephen Ministers.

The Stephen Minister will then call that person and begin meeting with him or her for around an hour each week as long as the need is there. Everything a care receiver says to his or her Stephen Minister is kept confidential.

The Stephen Minister doesn’t try to solve problems; rather, he or she listens, care, prays, and helps the care receiver find his or her path to healing and wholeness.
