Stephen Ministry
A Stephen Minister is a devoted and trained member of GCC who will visit with you as needed, listen, offer resources and referrals, pray with and for you, offering compassion and support. "Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ”. (Galatians 6:2)
The mission of the Stephen Ministry at GCC is to extend the love of Christ towards people who may be undergoing a hardship in life. Stephen Ministers reach out to those who are:
- Hospitalized or confined to their home
- Grieving a death or a loss
- Separated or divorced
- Seriously ill
- Lonely, depressed
- In a job crisis
- Facing life transitions (moving, career, relationships, etc.)
- Struggling in their faith
