If so, please contact one of the Stephen Leaders:  Fr. Stuart Smith, 817-326-2035 or  Yvonne Finley, 817-326-3098, or  John Sweatt, 817-559-2871.

Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2, NRSV). 


​ Our STEPHEN MINISTRY equips lay people, through 50 hours of training, to provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. You do not have to be a member of Good Shepherd to be a care receiver.
