Connecting the Treasures of Christ to the Troubles of Life
“In him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom . . .” (Colossians 2:3)
In this broken world, we have good reasons for concern. Hard things come at us, and it hurts. Bad things flow from us, and it harms. So many troubles! But because God sees and draws close, we have better reasons to rejoice. The Wonderful Counselor has not left us in the dark but has spoken his truth in love to comfort sufferers and transform sinners. In God’s written Word, and from Jesus the living Word, we find everything we need to live a godly life. So many treasures!
Our mission is to care for the soul by connecting the treasures of Christ to the troubles of life. We pursue this purpose by offering counseling and training to the members of our church and city.
Our distinctive approach is commonly referred to as “biblical counseling,” and we aspire to give the kind of care that is worthy of the description.

COUNSELING
Wise understanding arises from a dual understanding of what truly matters. You matter, so we will listen closely to you to know your story: What are you facing, and how are you struggling? God matters, so we will listen closely to Scripture to know his story: Who is he, and what does he say and do in Jesus to make all things new? Best of all, we will aim to bring real hope and help by connecting his treasures to your troubles through an honest, loving, tailored conversation.
EQUIPPING
Wise counseling happens in various settings and arises from various giftings. At the most basic level, we aim to equip every member of our church for informal, side-by-side, “one-another” ministry. At a more structured level, we offer training to become a confident and competent lay counselor or support group facilitator.
