COUNSELING
Mission Statement
-
The counseling ministry at WCBC exists to glorify God as we help people put their hope and trust in the sufficiency of Christ and the Scriptures (Col. 2:15, Pro. 1:7)
-
We seek to accomplish this by:
i. Being steadfastly committed to teaching the sufficiency of Scripture (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
ii. Recognizing that this sin cursed world, and our sin nature, lie at the heart of all the issues we will encounter
(Gen. 3: 14-19, Jas 4:4)
iii. Pointing hurting people to a Sympathetic High Priest (Heb. 4:14)
iv. Applying the gospel, and the truths of Scripture, to the lives of those who seek our help (2 Peter 1:3-4)
v. Confronting sin by speaking the truth in love (Eph. 4:15)
vi. Recognizing that man is both material and immaterial (Gen 2:7)
-
Therefore there are material problems and immaterial problems
-
Therefore, we are committed to helping those who need help from a medical doctor, find someone who will wisely prescribe treatment.
vii. Leading people to understand God, so they can truly understand themselves (Is. 6:1-5)
Getting Started
If you're ready to get help now, please begin by completing the Counseling Intake Form below. Please note that each individual desiring counseling needs to fill out a separate form.
What to Expect
Most counseling sessions take between 1 to 1.5 hours. In most cases, we ask individuals to commit to regular counseling appointments for a period of 3 to 4 months.
Privacy and Care
Our staff will care for you and treat you with respect. Everything will be held in strict confidence except where, in the counselor’s judgment, there is a Biblical requirement to involve others (e.g. criminal activity).
Encouragement toward Christ-likeness
Our staff will encourage you in your successes and exhort you to think and behave in a way that pleases Jesus Christ.
Weekly Homework
We’ll assign you homework to take home between your weekly counseling sessions. The assignments are meant to encourage lasting change.
