Church Partnerships

We believe the most effective context for long term, lasting transformation is the local church. We understand how as a pastor or church leader you often wrestle with how to provide the best care possible for those in your church. We know there are often issues that need more specific and specialized care. We also know how difficult it can be to find a trusted counselor to work with who shares your mission, vision, and values. Therefore, one of the most important things we do is develop strong partnerships with local churches.

Our counselors are available to partner with you in the care of your church by providing counseling that leads to heart change within the context of our office or the context of your church.

Please contact us for more information about local church partnership involvement. We would welcome the opportunity to speak with your leadership team regarding this.
