Stephen Ministry is a one-on-one, confidential ministry focused on listening, caring and providing support during life's challenges.  Stephen Ministers are trained laity who confidentially minister to those in our congregation facing difficult times through the loss of their health, of a job, of dear friends or family, and much more.

If you would like to learn more about Stephen Ministry, either as a potential care giver - or as a care receiver (for yourself or someone you know) - please call the church office at (813) 689-4161 or speak with one of the caring people listed below.  They can also be reached via email at fumcstephen@verizon.net
