Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one care ministry that equips and empowers lay caregivers — called Stephen Ministers — to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. Stephen Ministers are not counselors, mentors or pastors; they are men and women who understand the ministry of presence — being with people to love and support them through life’s difficult times.

Are You Going Through a Difficult Season of Life?
Have you ever gone through a difficult time and wished you had someone to support you and share your burden? Someone to meet with you each week and simply be present with you, to listen to you, to pray with you, and to keep everything you tell them in strictest confidence?
Bridgeway has a team of Stephen Ministers who are trained as lay caregivers to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. See this testimony from someone who has received care from a Stephen Minister.
Has God Given You a Heart of Compassion?
We’re looking for men and women who love the Lord, who are gifted with compassion and mercy, who are great listeners, and who can keep confidences.
Has God given you a heart of compassion for others? Consider becoming a Stephen Minister. Stephen Ministers receive 70 hours of in-depth training as well as ongoing continuing education and supervision.
Stephen Ministry Training begins in October of each year, and we accept applications through the end of August.
