Vision & Mission Statements of the Pastoral Counseling Ministry
Vision:
Conveying the Truth of Christ that all may experience Freedom in Christ.
(John 8:32, 36)
Mission:
In the Pastoral Counseling Ministry, we rely on the anointing and enabling of the Holy Spirit through the use of our spiritual gifts to provide godly soul-care, insight, and direction to individuals and families. This is accomplished through one-on-one sessions, the use of support groups, appropriate referrals, and the use of other complementary materials and assignments in both preventive and crisis-intervention approaches to achieve the goals of:
- sharing the "good news" with the spiritually poor;
- bringing healing to the brokenhearted;
- proclaiming freedom for those enslaved to unhealthy emotions, attitudes, behaviors;
- providing the light of truth to those in darkness;
- announcing the favor of the Lord for positive change and continued success;
- confronting inappropriate &/or unproductive thinking/behaviors/emotions according to His righteous requirements;
- and bestowing beauty, comfort, joy, and praise in place of discouragement, despair, mourning, and the spirit of heaviness.
(Isaiah 61:1-3a)
