Although we are a large congregation, our mission is to provide care and support to all of our brothers and sisters.  We desire to provide an atmosphere and opportunity to sense God’s presence and provision.

CHRISTIAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATES

Christian counseling services are available at our downtown location. Christian Counseling, in a basic sense, acknowledges that a person’s faith plays a vital role in the healing of emotional or behavioral problems. Therefore, this type of counseling intentionally seeks to make faith a significant part of the “treatment” process. In whatever problem is faced, Christian Counseling acknowledges that Jesus Christ can powerfully work in our lives to bring about healing and relief.

Please contact Christian Counseling at 724-396-1510.
