Stephen Ministers Provide Emotional and Spiritual Support

There are times when every one of us experiences difficulties and could benefit from meeting with a Stephen Minister once a week for emotional and spiritual support while we find our way through the valley. 

What is a Stephen Minister?

Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who have received 50 hours of caregiving training to minister to people experiencing a crisis, facing a challenge, or simply going through a tough time. They are under the supervision of the congregation’s Stephen Leaders (Deacons Andy Terry and Julie Tilton.)

A Stephen Minister will meet with you privately and confidentially on a weekly basis to pray, listen, care, encourage, support, and remind you of Christ’s presence in your life. Women meet with a female Stephen Minister, and men meet with a male Stephen Minister.

How do you get connected with a Stephen Minister?

Requests can be initiated by contacting a member of the clergy, including Deacon Julie Tilton (jtilton@allsaintswoodbridge.org ) or Deacon Andy Terry (andy.terry@andyterry.net), or by emailing caringministries@allsaintswoodbridge.org.
