Hurts, struggles, crises, and problems don’t take a vacation and neither has the COVID-19 virus.  If you are experiencing a difficult time—emotionally, spiritually, physically, or relationally—you don’t have to suffer alone. Reasons for requesting a Stephen Minister’s visits may range from grieving the loss of a loved one, experiencing a major illness, going through a divorce, job loss, moving to a nursing home, or other life difficulties. Our St. Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers, ready to listen, care for and encourage you, pray with and for you, and provide one-to-one Christian care to help you through whatever it is that you are facing. The confidential care-giver and care-receiver relationship, usually conducted by weekly visits, may continue for months or years.

Men are matched with male St. Stephen Ministers, and women are matched with female St. Stephen Ministers. It’s free. It’s confidential. And it will make a difference in your life!
