Philosophy of Care
"And we urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish the rebellious, comfort the discouraged, strengthen the weak, be patient toward all." 1 Thessalonians 5:14
We are committed to providing a balanced and biblical approach to counseling and soul-care. By biblical counseling and soul-care we mean that your counselor is a Christian with special training and experience in applying the truth of the Bible to life.
We believe that the Bible speaks to all of life and to all of its problems, but it takes careful thought and prayerful wisdom to know how to make those connections. We don 't believe that the Bible is simply a how-to book for happiness. We are confident that through the Scriptures and the power of His Spirit, God has given us all the instruction necessary for the life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3-4). It is our joy to help real people, with real problems, using the Bible.
Your soul-care will be biblical discipleship and pastoral counseling in which the Scriptures are held as the final authority in all matters. If you are not sure that you will be interested in biblical counseling, you will have the option of attending one or two sessions to discover how biblical counseling may help you.
Most importantly, we believe that the Bible ultimately points us to a Person - the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that real change comes when people learn to see themselves and their problems in the context of a loving, vital relationship with Christ. This does not mean that you must be a Christian to profit from our counseling, although we believe that deep and lasting change is brought about only by God Himself.
Because of this, we do not use the Bible in a superficial or heavy-handed way. When necessary we will work with your physician or other professionals to ensure you receive the appropriate medical care in conjunction with the counseling services you receive.
