Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry and Stephen Ministers offer care and support for people experiencing life difficulties such as the death of a loved one, job crises, aging, separation or divorce, long term illness, or for those needing the support of a Christian friend.

Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry; those receiving care can be sure their identity and care relationship will remain private.

Stephen Ministry Leaders:  Ruth Moheit, Bernie Baker and Barbara Baker
