Stephen Ministry
Riverview Stephen Ministers make themselves available to help men and women eighteen years and older who are going through difficult times. Our goal is to provide distinctively Christian care to those facing life's challenges. Stephen Ministers meet with individuals confidentially on a weekly basis, or as often as necessary, for as long as necessary. Stephen Ministers are not pastors, counselors, or therapists. Just well-trained and compassionate individuals who want to listen and help.
