What is Stephen Ministry?

Do you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or relative who has been struggling with the loss of a loved one, loneliness, cancer, a layoff, relocation, divorce, a spiritual crisis, recuperation, single parenthood, or any of countless other life challenges? Our Stephen Ministers can provide them with the focused care, encouragement, and support they need to make it through the crisis. Stephen Ministers are members of Hillspring who have received over 50 hours of special training on how to provide high-quality, confidential, one-to-one, Christian care to hurting people.

Stephen Ministers meet weekly with their care receivers to listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support. (Males are matched with males, and females are matched with females). If you or someone you know is struggling with a life challenge a Stephen Minister can really be a benefit. It’s a completely free ministry available to everyone including those part of our Hillspring family and those who aren’t. Leave your information below and one of our Stephen leaders; Debbie Toner, Nicky Johnson, or Linda Cadwell will gladly talk with you about how we can connect you or the person you know with one of our Stephen Ministers. It’s a great way for you to not walk alone or show someone who feels they are how much you care!
