Depression
A sadness so soft settles on us…it is seemingly without cause, yet it lingers like winter fog.
A caring Stephen Minister is ready and trained to help you find yourself through the mist. They will not judge you or push you to get better. Instead, your Stephen Minister will listen and care for you while you work through your feelings.
If you’d like to learn more about Stephen Ministry for yourself or someone else (inside or outside our congregation), please email stephenministry@peaceaustin.org with your contact information or call the church office and a Stephen Leader will contact you.
During this period of social distancing, we can provide care by telephone, video conferencing, or other methods needed to maintain social distance.
There are times when every one of us experiences difficulties such as:
- Loss of a loved one
- Hospitalization
- Spiritual Crisis
- Divorce
- Job Loss
- Disability
- Loneliness
- Cancer
- Imprisonment
- Infertility
- Deployment
- Caregiving…
God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone. That’s why God has brought us together in worship — and why we have Stephen Ministry. Stephen Ministers are members of our congregation who have received 50 hours of training to minister to people inside and outside of our congregation who are experiencing a crisis or going through a difficult time in life. Every week, a Stephen Minister will meet with you — privately and confidentially — to listen, care, encourage, support, and reflect Christ’s presence in your life.
