Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry offers a proven and effective way to organize, equip, and supervise a team of congregation members – called Stephen Ministers – to provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people experiencing life difficulties.

Stephen Leaders Guy Cecchi and Linda Stoll lead a team of thirteen Stephen Ministers trained to individually meet for an hour a week with individuals who express need for emotional and spiritual support.  The caring relationship is confidential and lasts for as long as needed.

Stephen Ministry multiplies blessings throughout the church and community.

• Congregations carry out Christ’s commandment to “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12 RSV) in a powerful and practical way.

• Pastors have a team of gifted, trained, and committed lay caregivers ready to minister to hurting people.

• Laypeople nurture and use their gifts in meaningful ministry, growing spiritually as they serve others.

• People who are hurting have a caring Christian presence to provide emotional and spiritual support.

If you would like more information or have need for one-to-one encouragement, contact Guy Cecchi at 508.737.6179 or stephenministry@ccbac.org.

Potential care receivers will meet with the Stephens Leaders who will assess the need for care and either match them with a Stephen Minister or provide referrals to other helping resources.   

All communication is confidential.
