"Bear one another's burden and thus fulfill the law of Christ"- Galatians 6:2

God's love in action
"Christ caring for people through people." This is what the logo in the picture means. It symbolizes that we are all broken people and that it is only through the cross of Jesus that we are made whole. Stephen Ministry is a distinctively Christian Care giving Ministry where clergy and laity work together to provide quality one to one care to meet the needs of hurting people, especially those who are going through a crisis in their lives.

  • Grieving
  • In a crisis or family or friends of people in crisis
  • In need of long time care
