What is Riverview Stephen Ministry?
Willing and trained individuals from Riverview who want to help you through a difficult time in your life. They meet with you confidentially on a weekly basis for as long as you need them. They can help you talk through a situation, process your thoughts & emotions in a caring yet unbiased way. They are someone you can trust.
Stephen Ministers are not pastors. They're not counselors. They're not therapists. Just well-trained and compassionate individuals who want to listen and help. There is no cost.
