Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry:
One-on-One Support

Stephen Ministers are laypeople trained to provide sensitive, confidential, Christ-centered care to individuals going through times of difficulty or loss, such as grief, divorce, unemployment, illness, or life transition. As commissioned caregivers, they engage in regular supervision and continuing education. Stephen Ministers commit to offering regular, in-person support to those who request it; those receiving care need not be members of First Presbyterian or any church. They welcome referrals from individuals as well as for family members and friends. Our Stephen Ministry program works as part of a network with other local congregations; we can pair you with a caregiver from First Pres or another local church.

To request a meeting with a Stephen Minister or to learn more about the program, please email Executive Pastor Caroline Cupp, or call 610-696-0554 x 114.
