Bear one another’s burdens

and in this way

you will fulfill the law of Christ

Galatians 6:2, NRSV

Help and Restoration for the Hurting

Stephen Ministers are laypeople—Christian men and women—trained to provide one-to-one care to people experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, relocation, or separation due to military deployment.

​

Stephen Ministers come from all walks of life. Their commonality? A passion for bringing Christ’s love and care to people during a time of need.

​

Since 1975, more than 650,000 people from more than 12,000 congregations and other organizations have been trained as Stephen Ministers.

​

If you or someone you know would appreciate a Stephen Minister to meet with you weekly to listen, to care, to encourage, contact Pastor Ranae at 419.452.7212.
