In our darkest moments, God draws near to comfort and restore us.

Sarah M.
Anxiety & Depression

After months of struggling with anxiety, I found hope through the ministry. The counselors helped me understand that my mental health struggles didn't make me less faithful. Through biblical counseling and professional therapy, I learned to cast my anxieties on God while also developing practical coping strategies.

Today: I now serve as a peer counselor, helping others find the same peace I discovered.
Mark & Jennifer T.
Marriage Crisis

Our marriage was on the brink of divorce. We had lost all hope and were living like strangers. The marriage counseling helped us rediscover not just our love for each other, but God's design for marriage. We learned communication skills rooted in Scripture and practical tools for conflict resolution.

Today: We celebrate 15 years of marriage and lead a couples' small group.
David R.
Addiction Recovery

Addiction had stolen everything from me—my family, my job, my faith. I thought God had given up on me. The recovery support group showed me that God never abandoned me, even in my darkest moments. Through biblical counseling and community support, I found strength to face each day.

Today: I've been sober for 3 years and now mentor others in recovery.

Your Story Matters

Every person who walks through our doors brings a unique story. We believe God wants to write a chapter of healing and hope in your story too.
