The Core Purpose (Mission) of Stephen Ministries is summed up in the words of St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians:

"To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12-13).

We are here to equip those whom God loves and to build up His children in their time of need until we all reach unity in the faith and maturity in the knowledge of Christ.
