Personal Ministry & Counseling
{The Purpose} To provide an environment of love, acceptance, Spirit-led ministry and faith-based counsel for needs which transcend typical church service or Life Group ministry.
{Vision Statement} Our goal is to provide gifted and specially trained servants to be available to minister by appointment to those with needs that require additional ministry other than during regularly scheduled services or which may be beyond the scope of a typical Life Group. We will be offering training for members who are actively participating in Life Groups and who have a heart and recognized gifting for special needs ministry or ministry situations that call for ongoing prayer.
Our desire is to minister In the spirit of Isaiah 61 as fulfilled in the life of Jesus: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that He may be glorified…”
Biblical counseling depends upon the Holy Spirit to relate God’s inspired truth about people, problems, and solutions to human suffering and sin to empower people to glorify God by cultivating conformity to Christ and communion with Christ and the Body of Christ.
