Stephen Ministry is a Christian lay caring ministry where a trained volunteer provides confidential one-to-one support for individuals experiencing difficult and challenging life events like grief, illness, job loss, loneliness, etc.

Stephen Ministers are not professional counselors but are trained to listen, care, pray, and support spiritually through life's valleys.

If you have a care need, please contact Kate Ellis, our Patmos UMC Stephen Minister, at katecde@live.com
