Biblical Counseling
Growing and Changing Together
It is easy to think of counseling as something that only happens in the counseling office, something for those who really need it. We like to say that counseling is not an add-on to church life but integral to our relationships as we seek one another’s spiritual good.
Christ the Wonderful Counselor
Christ alone, through the Scriptures, gives us the hope we long for and the change we need.
Growing and Changing Together
God is at work to change each of us, and so it is normal and healthy for us to struggle and strive for holiness together.
Every believer competent to counsel
Equipped with the Word of God, counseling is for all of God’s people for all of life and for all of Jesus’ disciples.
Opportunities
Counseling Classes
We want to equip a growing body of men and women for counseling within our church. To this end, we offer a variety of introductory and in-depth counseling classes.
Premarital Counseling
Marriage is the most intimate of human relationships. For that reason, it is not only a context for great disappointment, but also a means for great growth in Christ. Premarital counseling is offered to couples seeking marriage—and a proper way to position yourself for the blessing of marriage.
Counseling Services
We understand that there are times in life where you just need some helpful advice, you are struggling in an area of life, or you are looking for answers. It is our joy to skillfully, confidently, and lovingly come alongside and encourage you from the Bible. Contact the church office and we will serve you in any way we can.
Crisis Counseling
Even in our most difficult life struggles, the body of Christ is a place of refuge, help, and hope in intense times. God has gifted elders to shepherd the flock with care and concern during these times. One of our elder/shepherds is especially trained to come alongside and bring the help of God’s Word to particularly difficult situations.
