Biblical Counseling
Who is it For?
Biblical counseling* is available for people of all ages and walks of life. Youth counseling will be done with another person in the room (who will be held to confidentiality standards) for accountability purposes, and counseling with women will be handled in a manner consistent with wisdom and best practice.
What to Expect
Biblical Counseling is counseling that is directly centered and focused on the Bible to deal with the issues of life, leaning on the promise of 2 Peter 1:3 which says, "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness." Its focus is discipleship and heart change as developed through obedience to and understanding better God’s word.
Ultimately, the goal is to help you respond to your life circumstances in a way that will please God. The underlying assumption is that God’s Word truly is sufficient for life and godliness. Biblical counseling is meant to teach you to live a godly life in response to any life circumstances you may be going through, while also often providing genuine relief from various whole-self afflictions.
Everything will be held in strict confidence, except where, in the counselor’s judgment, there is a biblical and/or legal requirement to involve others (e.g. criminal activity).
Biblical Counseling is a free service of GCC and can be for grief, sexual sin, addictions, marital problems, depression, etc.
