Stephen Ministry   Christ caring for people through people

This program provides one to one Christian care to adult members of our parish community who are experiencing life's difficulties of the heart and spirit. It accomplishes this mission by

  1. equipping lay persons to become especially trained and supervised Stephen Ministers, and
  2. providing the confidential referral mechanism to connect those in need with a Stephen Minister of the same gender.

To explore becoming a Stephen Minister or to seek assistance in times of grief, terminal illness, loss of job, relocation, empty nest, retirement, hospitalization, loneliness, or other stresses and challenges that you or a loved one may be suffering, call our Hotline at 214-290-0803.
