Stephen Ministry In the Stephen Ministry, caregivers work alongside our pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through difficult times, such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, unemployment, or loneliness. “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2). Stephen Ministers bring distinctively Christian care to those in need. They use both words and deeds to express Christ's care for others--listening and comforting, calling on the training they have received and employing the tools of faith. “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). The
ultimate goal of the Stephen Ministry is to provide care for those in
need at Bethesda Church. This care is given through trained Stephen
Ministers.
