Stephen Ministry equips and empowers caregivers—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting.
​
Stephen Ministers are members of Hickory Ridge Community Church who are trained by Stephen Leaders to offer high-quality, one-to-one Christian care to people going through tough times. A Stephen Minister usually provides care to one person at a time, meeting with that person once a week for about an hour. Twice a month, Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education.

Do you need someone to listen??

Care receivers are people—congregation members and others in the community—who receive care from a Stephen Minister. These are people struggling through a difficult time in life—experiencing grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or some other life crisis.
​
Some important guidelines for this caring relationship protect both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister:   
The relationship between a care receiver and a Stephen Minister is confidential. Men are matched with men; women with women.
​

When a care receiver’s needs exceed that which is beyond what a Stephen Minister can provide, the Stephen Ministry team makes a referral to an appropriate mental health care professional or other community resource.
