Stephen Ministers Are There to CareAre you, or someone you know, going through a difficult time—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? The Stephen Ministry here at St. Luke is a ministry devoted to helping anyone who is lonely, experiencing a crisis, or simply stressed by everyday life. No one should ever have to suffer alone. Our Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers, ready to listen, care for and encourage you, pray with and for you, and provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to help you through whatever it is that you are facing.
