Sometimes, we need help beyond general means of discipleship and encouragement.
No matter how long we’ve been followers of Jesus Christ, everyone needs fellowship and reminders of God’s truth to persevere, grow in our faith, and help others do the same.
Such encouragement typically happens through participating in Sunday services and getting together with other Christians regularly for bible study, prayer, and discussion about applying biblical truth to life.
Sometimes, we need help beyond those general means of discipleship and encouragement. Perhaps it’s a trial that’s hard to process, a long-standing pattern of sin, the impact of unwise choices, or a broken relationship. How do we continue to obey and trust God when it gets really hard? That’s the role counseling can take in the Christian life. It provides intensive and focused support for a particular issue to help us walk in obedience, faithfully steer life’s storms, and persevere when hope, reconciliation, or change doesn’t seem possible.
We believe hope and change are possible – when Jesus Christ has lordship over all aspects of our life and when Scripture is both the authority and lens we use to understand, interpret, and work through and address our problems.
So, whether you’re having difficulties with a relationship, a hard time managing an emotion or changing your habits, or something else, our objectives are to:
Walk alongside you. While you have a personal responsibility before God to repent from any known sin and to obey Him, you aren’t called to walk the Christian life alone. As your church, we have both the desire and responsibility to bear your burdens with you and love you in the way Christ has loved us.
Offer God-centered rather than “you” centered counseling. As image bearers of God, our counseling goes beyond felt needs and self-esteem. We’ll help you see the larger picture of what God is up to in your struggles and your role in expanding His kingdom and being part of your local church.
Equip you to navigate life in this fallen world. We’ll help you dig beneath the surface to understand the root drivers of your actions, grow your relationship with Jesus Christ, and craft tangible ways to apply the Gospel to the day-to-day realities of your life and relationships.
We want you to connect with a counselor here at Trinity or a recommended local counselor to help you find the answers to your struggles.
