Stephen Ministry at Plymouth
This year, Plymouth Church will be electing a
new nine-member Board of Congregational
Care which will assist members and friends
to grow in our capacity to love God and one
another. The Board will also be the home for
our Stephen Ministry.
Stephen Ministry has been a part of
Plymouth Church for decades. They are lay
congregation members trained to provide
confidential, one-to-one care to those
experiencing a difficult time in life, such as
grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal
illness, relocation or strained relationships.

Stephen Ministry is God’s love in action. The
dedicated Stephen Ministers at Plymouth all
share a passion for bringing God’s love and
high-quality supportive care to people during
a time of need.

After being matched with a person
experiencing a life crisis, the Stephen
Minister meets with that person on a weekly
basis. The caring relationship lasts as long as
the need exists.
We are blessed to have a caring group of
Stephen Ministers and we invite you to read
more about them.
