Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministers are CONFIDENTIAL, CARING, LISTENERS who walk beside you and help you work through your burdens during difficult times. Our highly trained listeners won’t solve your problems, but help you work through your difficulties, pray with you, or just be that caring listener so you can share in confidence without judgement.

At Joy, we share one another’s burdens.
