"Counseling!? I don't need counseling" you might say. But truthfully, all people need counsel, specifically and especially from the Bible. Isaiah 53:6 tells us, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all." When we turn to ourselves, others, things, or anything other than Christ we need the help of the Bible and the Spirit of God to turn to or turn back to the God of the Bible.
In an effort to care for one another as Christ cares for His bride, New Covenant Church has made counseling, through a biblical perspective, a high priority. We invest in this in several ways: through our biblical counseling training, through teaching on biblical counseling, and through providing bibilical counseling for individuals and families.
Biblical counseling, different from christian counseling, is driven by looking first and primarily to the Bible for how to navigate the various circumstances we face in our daily lives. From anxiety and depression, to handling addiction or a struggling marriage, biblical counseling helps people learn and refer back to how God would instruct us to respond to various issues through His word. Our approach considers the whole person, in a gracious and patient manner.
