Stephen Ministry

You're Not Alone

Welcome to Stephen Ministry at RiverGlen Church

In life's journey, we all encounter periods of challenge, grief, and uncertainty. Stephen Ministry is our dedicated ministry focused on providing one-on-one support, encouragement, and care to those navigating these difficult times.

What is Stephen Ministry?

Stephen Ministry is an international, non-denominational ministry that equips and empowers lay caregivers—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people experiencing a wide range of personal challenges.

Our Stephen Ministers: Trained Caregivers

Each Stephen Minister undergoes extensive training in providing emotional and spiritual care. They are ready to listen, care for, and walk alongside you, offering support and encouragement for as long as needed.

Who We Serve

Stephen Ministry is for anyone going through a difficult time, such as:

- Grief and loss

How It Works:

2. Confidential Meetings: You'll meet regularly with your Stephen Minister, who will provide a listening ear, empathetic presence, and prayerful support.
