Stephen Ministers are available to provide support in a caring, confidential way if you are going through life-changing circumstances such as divorce, loss, unemployment, chronic illness, and other events. A Stephen Minister is a compassionate companion, a trained member of our church who will meet with you regularly to listen and provide support.

Lay counselors are church members who have been recognized to have a gift for counseling. Our counselors are trained volunteers that are taught the principles of counseling in order to offer loving care toward others whose story has impacted how they view themselves, others and God. They regularly consult with a licensed professional counselor. Lay counselors are not intended to replace professional counseling. We can refer to professional counseling practices as needed.

A licensed therapist is fully trained, accredited, and supervised. We do not have professional counselors on staff. Our Care team may refer you to a small list of licensed professional counselors in the area.
“We all face challenges that shake us to the core, and make us feel scared, ashamed or hopeless. I faced a challenge like that and desperately needed a third party to speak into my life. Lay counseling was an opportunity to examine my life, and put my problems into the context of my faith, my relationship with Jesus and God’s grace. I can see now how God used it to pursue me. I am deeply grateful.”
“During a spiritual crisis, I [got connected to the] Stephen Ministry. My need outweighed my worries about acceptance in our church family. I could speak openly about my natural reflexes in response to my painful experience. The gentle but honest encouragement from my Stephen Minister’s life and from the Scriptures was like iron sharpening iron. [My Stephen Minister’s] faithfulness deepened my awareness and trust in God’s sovereign providence in the shadows of my circumstances.”
Whether your family is thriving or struggling, there are opportunities for you to connect to the hope of the gospel.
