  • STEPHEN MINISTRY

    Trained volunteers are available to meet with you for weekly one-on-one, Christ-centred caregiving.

    Stephen Ministers care for people who are trying to deal with the stress of a life-changing event by offering a listening, compassionate and non-judgemental ear. They offer care to those experiencing a crisis such as a divorce, serious illness, death of a loved one, retirement, birth of a child, or loss of employment.

    Care connections are individually arranged through our Pastor of Care.
