Stephen Ministry

Why a Stephen Minister?

Are you in need of a caring Christian who will confidentially listen, empathize, encourage, pray, and patiently support you as you work though a crisis or difficult time? Have you lost your job? Has a marriage or a friendship grown cold or you’ve lost someone very dear to you?

When there seems to be no one to talk things over with, Stephen Ministers are trained listeners who can keep a secret. Only God, you, and your Stephen Minister know the content of conversations. Call the church office at 904.268.5549 and ask to be put in touch with Stephen Ministry.

Our trained Stephen Ministers are here to meet the needs of those who are dealing with:

          • Illness,
          • Loneliness,
          • Loss of a loved one,
          • Spiritual crisis,
          • Loss of a job, or
          • Other needs.
