Stephen Ministry is a Christian caregiving program that trains church members to provide confidential, one-on-one emotional and spiritual support to people facing challenges such as grief, divorce, job loss, or illness.
Stephen Ministers provide one-to-one, strictly confidential, care. They receive extensive training, before being matched with a care-receiver. The curriculum focuses on active listening, empathy, healthy boundaries, and providing a non-judgmental presence rather than trying to "fix" the problem.
