Christ-Centered

Our counseling focuses on knowing, trusting and following Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord and Savior, the ultimate remedy for personal and relational brokenness. Our counseling conduct is guided by the love, kindness, truth and compassion of Jesus, the great Shepherd and Counselor. Our trust is in Christ who transforms the inner life and the outward lifestyle of those we counsel.

Biblically Based

Our counseling relies upon the true words about ourselves and about Jesus revealed in the Bible. We counsel convinced that God’s Word has the authority and sufficient truth for every life and circumstance. That same Word invites everyone to live in a personal, healing relationship with Christ.

Theologically Integrated

All of our counselors hold seminary level degrees and are highly skilled in applying biblical patterns and themes to the complex issues of life, including the fixed linkage and interaction of our bodies and soul.

Clinically Informed

The supremacy of Scripture guides the way we assess and utilize research from psychology and medicine as secondary and occasional tools for the biblical counseling process.

"Every time we say we believe in the Holy Spirit, we mean we believe that there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it."
