Statement of Faith

• We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, "God with us," sent to us for salvation, redemption, healing and sanctification. We want all that we do and say to reflect His glory, majesty and deity.  With His help, He is at the center of all counseling.
• We believe the Jesus is the author of all healing, whether that healing comes through a physician, medication, counseling, miracles, or other people or other means.  Jesus is always at the heart of healing and we acknowledge Him as the Lord of our counsel.
• We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and "is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness."  We believe people are designed to live by God's word and we cannot be truly happy if we do not nurture this relationship with the Lord. 
• We believe in the efficacy of prayer for changing lives.  We are dedicated to praying for our clients, their problems, and their healing.  We are also dedicated to praying for wisdom, discernment and the leadership of the Holy Spirit in our counsel. 
• We believe that when we make mistakes in life, we are far better off going to the Lord to resolve and redeem those mistakes than trying to compensate for them on our own.  We believe there is no problem so deep that our Lord won't redeem it if we ask Him.
• We believe that people are almost always better off healing their marriages rather than seeking divorce.  Divorce should never be considered casually or encouraged.  We will always work to restore marriages, rather than to break them up.  We also believe that Jesus can forgive, heal and redeem us after a divorce and we will work lovingly and graciously with those struggling to cope with the ill effects of divorce.
• We desire for each of our clients' wholeness of thoughts and feelings, body and spirit, law and grace, faith and action.  We desire that our clients, as well as ourselves, grow in the character traits of deepening and active faith, honesty, relational intimacy, Christian joy, patience, hope, and integrity.  We desire that our clients would come to know the person of Christ through our example, love, grace and words, but affirm that we will never use our position as  counselors to manipulate others into a religion or particular belief.
