Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is a crucial aspect of ministry at St. Stephen, which provides support and guidance to members of the congregation who may be going through difficult times. This may include individuals who are experiencing physical or emotional illness, those dealing with grief or loss, and those facing personal or family problems.

​

Pastoral care involves a range of activities, such as hospital and home visits, counseling sessions, prayer and worship services.  Our pastors provide a listening ear, offer words of comfort and encouragement, and connect individuals with resources and support networks as needed.

​

In addition to providing direct support to individuals and families, pastoral care  also involves creating a culture of care and support within the congregation. It is an essential ministry that seeks to provide comfort, healing, and hope to those who are struggling and to create a welcoming and supportive community for all.
