They are not counselors. Their role is to listen and care. Grief, divorce, job loss, re-location, drug abuse, hospitalization, illness, loneliness, disability, family problems, pregnancy and spiritual needs – crisis like these can overwhelm us. Stephen Ministers provide one-on-one ongoing Christian care in a strictly confidential manner to those in need of support and encouragement. What a care receiver tells a Stephen Minister is kept confidential. There are no cold calls made. A Stephen Minister is assigned only to people who agree to receive a Stephen Minister.
