Congregational Care
Stephen Ministry
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” Psalms 147:3
Are you going through a difficult time? A Stephen Minister can help. Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who listen, care, and spiritual support people going through a crisis or a difficult time.
Stephen Ministers address the needs of people who are lonely, depressed, separated or divorced, homebound, hospitalized, grieving the loss of a loved one, dying, experiencing the loss of a job or financial setbacks, new to the church, inactive members, struggling with their faith in God.
A Stephen Minister is:
- A friend who comes in when the rest of the world goes out.
- A dedicated, trained member of the church, commissioned by the First Houston family to administer confidential, in-depth caring. Someone who will visit with you weekly, listen, offer resources and referrals, pray with and for you, and offer Christian love and support.
- A caring, supportive, Christian friend who has a desire to be with you in a time of need, grief, or crisis.
