Pastoral Counseling Services
We provide Pastoral Counseling for those who desire a Scriptural approach to seeking help and counsel when addressing life changes, challenges, and conflicts.
Our Counseling Model
Christian Pastoral Counseling uses the truths and HOPE of Scripture, explaining and applying them to the individual’s life through guidance, encouragement, correction and training.
The practical help is gained through the understanding and application of the Word of God.
Timothy 3:16-17 states that, "Every Scripture passage is inspired by God. All of them are useful for teaching, pointing out errors, correcting people, and training them for a life that has God’s approval. They equip God’s servants so that they are completely prepared to do good things."

God’s word is living and active.
It is sharper than any two-edged sword
and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet,
the place where joints and marrow meet.
God’s word judges a person’s thoughts and intentions.
- Hebrews 4:12
