Stephen Ministry at St. Timothy's
A ministry here for almost 30 years
Bear one another’s burdens and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry in which trained and supervised laypersons provide one-to-one Christian care to individuals facing life challenges or difficulties. This may include the bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, and others facing a crisis or life challenge.
Stephen Ministers are caring, friends who listen, understand, accept and pray for, and with, those who are working through a crisis or tough time. Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers whose role is to listen and care, not to give advice or counsel. Stephen Ministry helps our priests and congregation provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.
