Counseling
Our Pastors care. They are trained and experienced to provide spiritual care by spending time with you, to hear your story and provide biblical advice.
But we know there are times when a licensed clinical counselor would be better equipped to help.
Set up a time to speak with one of our Pastors today or get connected with a carefully screened professional Christian Counselor.

Everyone knows someone or a family that could use some prayer, encouragement, and maybe some help financially.

where we consider your nominations to provide a one-time gift for a person or family inside or outside the walls of the church who is going through a challenging time in their life.
