“Christian Counseling” is loving and wise conversations, rooted in Scripture and dependent on the Spirit, that guide and support hurting individuals in developing a deep trust, love, and worship toward Christ in order to live for Christ.
Christian Counseling Distinctives
- We believe that the Bible, given by God, is sufficient for life in that, when properly interpreted, it reveals to the believer all the data necessary for one to understand his need for Christ, how he can please the Lord, how to live in a god-honoring way regardless of the circumstances whether comfortable or oppressive, and most of all it reveals the beauty of Christ to encourage joyful worship which is at the heart of all true growth and change (2Cor 3:18)
- The Bible is also the authoritative source with which all truth claims–including claims made by science and history–must be evaluated. As a result, we reject all counseling theories that use presuppositions, principles, and/or methodologies that are inconsistent with the proper interpretation of the biblical text.
- We believe that genuine heart change is totally dependent on the ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the context of a community of believers that build each other up.
- Biblical Counseling includes the importance of prayer, dependence on God, a thorough knowledge of the Word of God, and an understanding of ministering to people.
