The Stephen Ministry

Would you like a caring, confidential Christian friend to walk alongside you during a difficult time?

Stephen Ministers are men and women who are trained to minister to one person for one hour on a weekly basis. The training will be useful for the rest of your life and enable you to minister to others in new and special ways.

The Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry that reaches out to those who are shut-in, discouraged, in crisis, or ill. This ministry also extends to those in our community who are in need of a listening, caring, supportive Christian friend. Stephen Ministers are not "fixers," they are care-givers and not cure-givers.

How to Receive a Stephen Minister:

Everyone goes through difficult times. Having someone to care, listen, and share God's love can help you to get through the confusion, stress, or loneliness you may be experiencing. Women contact Donna Shockley, 949.675.1904, or Carol Kanode, 714.847.8412; men contact Art Wardner, 714.731.6538, to be connected with a caring friend. This is a confidential ministry.
