Do you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker or relative who has suffered a loss or is going through a difficult time? Here’s a great way you can help – tell him or her about our Stephen Ministry!

Stephen Ministers are members of Christ the King who have received special training to provide high-quality confidential, one-to-one, Christian care to hurting people.

Stephen Ministers meet with their care receivers to listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support. Once an initial relationship has been established, the Stephen Minister and their care receiver establish whatever schedule (and whatever method...face to face, phone, etc) works best. Males are matched with males, and females, with females. The caring relationship lasts for as long as the person needs care. It’s free, and it’s a powerful way you can help a hurting friend.

Make a Referral: To connect someone you know with a Stephen Minister, talk with our Stephen Leader Bunny Thompson via email at stephenministry@christthekingcary.org.
