Counseling

All Christians struggle with sin and the effect it has on our lives and our relationships (Romans 3:23; 7:7-25). Whenever a Christian is unable to overcome sinful attitudes or behaviors through private efforts, God desires that he or she seek assistance from other believers, and especially from the elders of their local church who have the responsibility of providing pastoral counseling and oversight (Romans 15:14, Galatians 6:1-2, Colossians 3:16, II Timothy 2:15-26; 3:16-4:2, Hebrews 10:24-25; 13:17, James 5:16).

We believe not only in the inerrancy of the Bible, but also in the sufficiency of the Scriptures. That is, in the Bible we have the truth we need to help people deal with their spiritual problems (II Tim. 3:16-17). We believe that many of the problems for which people are seeking psychotherapy or psychotropic drugs can be solved by taking a biblical approach. We believe that believers are equipped by God to help each other with these spiritual problems (Romans 15:14).
