Christ Centered Caregiving
Jesus has given
us a commandment to "love one another as I have loved you" John 13:34
The apostle Paul urges Christians
to "bear one another's burdens" Galatians 6:2
Stephen Ministry is designed to carry out these commands
of our Lord. A Stephen Minister is called to be a caregiver bringing love and care in the name of Jesus to someone who is
going through a change in his/her life.
