Counseling ministry working toward a movement in Christ-centered biblical counseling
Counseling individuals, marriages, and families with life’s biggest struggles by appointment.
Teaching seminars on personal, family, church, and community renewal. When families flourish, communities flourish.
Developing resources and groups for those in life’s most difficult seasons.
Enriching church leaders, pastors, and ministry leaders through biblical consultation.
Mediating church leadership and congregational conflict through difficult seasons of ministry.
Hurting people long for clear insight and deep healing. Ideas penetrate the human condition only so far. Transparency is ultimately too shallow. God sent a Person to heal our brokenness: His Son, Jesus Christ. He is living truth who knows you fully, who alone can change you completely.
The Owen Center is church-oriented. We are convinced that Christ’s church is His primary carrier for the transformation of people and culture. The Owen Center serves as an intensive care unit for hurting people while we work with Christian leaders, where possible, to build and grow safe places for broken people in every church.
Christ-centered, biblical counseling
- 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 understands and honors all people as those made in the image of God.
- 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.
- Our counseling conduct is guided by the love, kindness, truth and compassion of Jesus, the great Shepherd and Counselor.
- Our counseling seeks deep and lasting transformation of the inner life and the outward lifestyle.
