Ministry Philosophy
God’s Word is sufficient for assessing and addressing the difficulties of life. (1 Peter 3:16, Hebrews 4:12) and
​
God is actively doing a work of sanctification in the life of every believer. (1 Thessalonians 4:3, John 15:1- 4, Hebrews 12:7-11, Philippians 1:6, Ephesians 2:10, 3:14-20)
Counseling Goals
We first seek to provide the counselee with a biblical framework for understanding the difficulty they are experiencing, and to point them to biblically-based hope and comfort.
​
The long-term goal of counseling will be to help the counselee develop a stronger faith and a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the Lord that will serve them far beyond the term of the current crisis.
Care Model
Christ-Centered: A dynamic personal relationship with Jesus Christ is key to experiencing freedom from overwhelming despair, discouragement, anxiety, besetting sins and the difficulties of life. (John 15, 16:33, Col 1:20)
Biblically-Based: The Scriptures are the primary source of wisdom for all counsel and assigned homework. (Hebrews 4:12, 1 Peter 3:16)
Spirit-Lead: The Holy Spirit dwells within all believers granting wisdom and discernment, teaching and helping them understand spiritual truth. (John 14:16, 26, Ephesians 3:20)
Prayer-Saturated: Every counseling session will begin and end with prayer, and counselees will be prayed for on a regular basis through intercessory prayer. (James 5:16)
