Care & Counseling
We believe that the Church is God’s instrument to care for people as they really are, in all the unique ways God has created each person as an individual, and in all the difficult ways that brokenness, doubt, and frustration have come to bear on his or her story.
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
Our Mission: Providing deeply meaningful support to all who are hurting, broken, and/or grieving by being the hands and feet of Jesus to them and by pointing them to the great healer and comforter Himself.
Our Approach
Walking Together in Care
To come alongside others through individual or couples counseling, small group interaction, and large group training on topics such as grief, divorce, fear, worry, anxiety, depression, sexual brokenness, infidelity, and substance abuse or addiction.
Our Commitment
A Safe Place to Be Known
To provide a safe place for people to struggle, be vulnerable, be known, and ultimately be accepted, while at the same time pointing them to the One who knows them fully and accepts them completely regardless of past or present struggles.
Our Hope
Living in Freedom and Humility
To be a part of creating an overall community that embraces brokenness, and in that moving us from either a sense of arrogance or shame to the wonderfully freeing life of humility and true dependency on the Lord Jesus Christ and His saving work in our lives.
Our Understanding
Walking Alongside One Another
We know it can be very difficult to admit the need for help, and we want to approach that reality with deep sensitivity. For many, it is scary, while for others it might be humiliating. As previously stated, we want to be an incredibly safe place. We are committed to confidentiality, while also being committed to providing very specific care and resources with a deep spirit of love and understanding. We want people to understand that we are all broken and that change can be difficult. Yet we are also fully redeemed and deeply loved in Him. This truth shapes everything we do in Care and Counseling and leads us to the healing and freedom found in Christ. Our identity does not come from success or failure. It rests in the deep love of a Holy God who went to great lengths to restore us to Himself.
No one should struggle alone. We come alongside those who are hurting, stepping into their pain with support, encouragement, and hope. It is both our calling and commitment to walk beside one another in every season. We take seriously Paul’s encouragement to the Ephesians, which reminds us to live with compassion and forgiveness:
“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32
