Stephen Ministry is a confidential, Christ-centered care ministry designed to walk alongside individuals who are going through difficult seasons of life. Whether someone is experiencing grief, illness, loneliness, marital challenges, job loss, or any other personal struggle, Stephen Ministers are trained and compassionate members of our church who provide one-on-one emotional and spiritual support. They are not counselors or therapists, but caring listeners who offer encouragement, prayer, and a steady, Christ-like presence during life’s valleys. Stephen Ministry is grounded in biblical principles of bearing one another’s burdens and reminding people that they are not alone. If you or someone you know could benefit from a Stephen Minister, getting connected is simple and confidential—just reach out to our Care Pastor, Amanda Brown (amanda@impacthartwell.com), and we will help you take the next step.
