Stephen Ministry Care Recipients

Who are Care Recipients?

Care recipients are those people to whom Stephen Ministers provide care. Care recipients are people who are struggling through painful or difficult life events. We are all broken people and it is through Jesus that we are made whole.

We all experience challenges in life—times when we could benefit from the support of a caring Christian friend. Stephen Ministers are ready to provide the emotional and spiritual care we need when faced with a crisis or difficulty such as:

  • Loss of a loved one
  • Hospitalization
  • Divorce or separation
  • Loneliness or discouragement
  • Spiritual crisis
  • Unemployment or job crisis
  • Terminal illness
  • Incarceration
  • Aging
  • Birth, adoption, miscarriage or infertility
  • Chronic illness
  • Relocation
  • Empty nest

Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry. The identity of those receiving care and what takes place in each caring relationship remain private.
