Testimony
"I was at a point in my life where I was much lower than I thought I could ever be. Wherever I turned there were major stresses: work, home, social, etc. I have always been independent, but I needed help. I reached out to the Stephen Ministry and I am so glad I did. My Stephen Minister was fantastic: they were supportive, understanding, relatable, flexible with meeting times, helped me with my faith, and more. I would recommend anyone to the Stephen Ministry!" ~Anonymous
