Stephen Ministry at Maple Valley Church
Christ Caring for People Through People
Our congregation's Stephen Ministry equips volunteers to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.
Stephen Ministers are trained volunteers who support and extend the care that pastors and Small Groups continue to provide by reaching out with God's love to people who are hurting - both congregation members and non-members alike.
Everyone experiences challenges in lifetimes when we could benefit from the support of a caring Christian friend.
Consider letting a Stephen Minister help, we're trained to listen, care, encourage, pray, and walk alongside you during difficult times. It's confidential, free, and very helpful.
