In 2015, the Church Council approved a proposal to make room for The Counseling Center, the newest satellite office of the Sanctuary Counseling Group (formerly, "Methodist Counseling and Consultation Services").
Every Christian disciple is along the path of growth in different stages; some lack faith and are full of questions, while others have assurance in their salvation. All people experience loss, disappointment, and decision making. People are discovering more the benefits of mental health, spiritual health, and their connection to our overall welfare. As Dr. John Arey, the Executive Director of the Sanctuary Counseling Group says, “Pastoral counseling combines the best of spiritual care and psychology.” A well-trained, licensed Pastoral Counselor is uniquely capable of helping people gain a foothold in the midst of life’s challenges. Along these lines, for our church to host The Counseling Center, we will be better able to fulfill our mission of nurturing Christian disciples through the presence and power of God.
