Stephen Ministry is for those people that would benefit from the close care of a Christian. The Stephen Minister is compassionate, trustworthy, skilled, and full of faith. This ministry exists to bring pastoral care back to the roots of one Christian caring for another. Our goal is to mobilize the lay people of our church with the real ministry of caring for each other. A successful Stephen Ministry can engender true community with the dual focus of caring for members of St Luke’s as well as an outreach to the broader community.
