Everyone goes through difficult times. Having someone to care, to listen, to share God's love
with you can help you get through the stress, confusion, or loneliness you may be experiencing. God does not intend for you to struggle alone.
A Stephen Minister is a caring Christian who really listens, and who has received fifty hours of training in how to provide distinctively Christian care. A Stephen Minister is a trustworthy confidant who will keep everything you say -- and even your identity -- confidential.
Stephen Ministers provide one-to-one confidential care to people who are grieving the death of a loved one, lonely or discouraged, unemployed, disabled or caring for an ill or disabled family member, homebound or in residential care, or may have other struggles where a Stephen Minister can help.
Our Stephen Ministers are ready to provide you with the confidential, one-to-one Christian care you need to make it through a crisis or help you through a difficult time. You can reach a Stephen Minister by calling the parish office at (805) 498-3602 and leaving a message on extension #106, or you can email [email protected].
A Stephen Minister comes alongside a hurting person and meets with that person on a weekly basis to listen, care, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support. Men are paired with men; women with women. Over the years, well over one-and-a-half million people have benefited from the one-to-one, confidential, Christ-centered care of a Stephen Minister. This is just one of those stories.
