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.
