"Love one another- as I have loved you." John 13:34
WHAT IS STEPHEN MINISTRY?
As a congregation we know that no one is immune to crisis or difficulty in life. And while challenges, transitions and losses are a "given" for each of us...handling those challenges alone is not. This is why FPC has a Stephen Ministry Program. It is with great joy that we are able to provide trained one-on-one caregivers who will faithfully listen, empathize, encourage and pray for anyone - inside or outside this church - who is facing a crisis, an illness, loss, loneliness or any type of transition.
WHAT DOES A STEPHEN MINISTER DO?
- Offers Christian friendship and love
- Listens
- Encourages
- Keeps confidence
- Prays
- Supports

Can I help?
FPC is committed to providing Stephen Ministers to walk alongside those who are experiencing a "rough patch" in life. In order to do this well, we will need many more Stephen Ministers.
