BIBLICAL COUNSELING

Men and women counselors are available by appointment.

WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL COUNSELING CENTER?

    A ministry of Valley Baptist Church under the supervision of the pastoral staff. 

     

    The counseling center is staffed by men and women members of Valley Baptist Church who have:

    •  Completed the certification program through the Biblical
       Counseling Institute    . 

    •  Been approved by the Senior Pastor to participate in this ministry. 

    •  Earned certification through the Southwestern Baptist Theological

       Seminary.

    WHAT IS BIBLICAL COUNSELING?

    Effectively applying the truth of God's word to address the difficult issues of life. 

    •  The Body of Christ has the scriptural mandate to teach, counsel,

        restore, and evangelize. Paul wrote to the Ephesian Church: "...that we

        should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about

        with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning

        craftiness of deceitful plotting, but speaking the truth in love, may

        grow up in all things into Him who is the head - Christ."

        (Eph. 4:14-15 [NKJV])

    WHAT IS DISCUSSED WITH A COUNSELOR?

    Life can be confusing. People can become troubled. When issues confound or cause difficulties for you or within your family, consider coming to see us.

    THE BIBLE SPEAKS TO ISSUES INCLUDING:

    Abuse

    Anger

    Addiction

    Divorce

    Depression

    Grief & Loss

    Spiritual & Faith Issues

    Family Concerns

    Lifestyle Issues

    Self-esteem

    Sexuality Issues

    ...And More!

    EXPECTATIONS

    To assure that information shared during a counseling session is treated with the highest standard integrity. Normally this means absolute confidentiality. Integrity, however, may necessitate notification of appropriate officials should a clear imminent danger exist to the person, a family member or to the general public.

    WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

    You will first speak with the senior pastor to be assigned a counselor. During the first session with your assigned counselor, you will complete some brief paperwork. Plan for this session to be about 60 minutes. At the close of a session, a determination will be made between you and the counselor as to whether another time should be scheduled to meet wtih the counselor.
