Desiring to Serve the Local Church
As a pastor or a church leader you are often confronted with the tough choice of how best to care for the hurting members of your congregation.
Perhaps you don't have the bandwidth to properly come alongside everyone who needs help.
At some point you begin to ask, "Are there trusted and experienced counselors that I know who will partner with me in leading them to reconciliation and healing?
Are there counselors who will counsel from the scriptures and not use secular techniques and theories, whose goal in counseling isn't changing behavior but in getting to the root of the issue and seeing real heart change?
Are there counselors who will function as an extension of our local church?
We believe Biblical Counseling belongs and is best accomplished in and under the authority of the local church and have a passion for seeing counseling restored to the local church
Our desire is to come alongside the local church and equip them to counsel and care for those who are hurting and in need of hope and help.
