TCPCCC is
concerned with both the prevention and intervention aspects of building stronger
Christian individuals, couples, and families. We offer such ministries as
counseling services, pre-marital education, divorce recovery workshops, grief
support groups, crisis intervention, as well as a host of other ministries
aimed at strengthening people through Jesus Christ and the power of His Word.
TCPCCC is
made up of a group of licensed Christian counselors and volunteers whose aim is
to help you in your pursuit of a more fulfilling life in Christ.
We define Christian counseling as: A relational
process in which a faithful follower of Christ utilizes his or her God-given
gifts, training, knowledge, and experiences, following the direction of the
Holy Spirit, in the task of walking with others toward spiritual maturity,
emotional health, cognitive truth, relational stability, and behavioral
accountability in a caring and supportive environment.
Our hope and prayer for you as you begin your
Christian Counseling journey is that your life will be forever changed through
the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word. The Holy Spirit works through our
Christian counselors through the truth and power of His Word. As you begin your
counseling experience here at TCPCCC, we want you to be aware of a few things
that are essential if your counseling is to produce results that are
lasting.
1. The Christian counseling you receive at TCPCCC is
drawn from God’s Word – it is done in accordance with and not contrary to any
teaching of God’s Holy Scriptures.
2. Christian counseling, when done with authenticity, is always more concerned with heart transformation than with simply alleviating symptoms.
3. Heart change often begins with changing one’s thinking. We ask that you be open to thinking in ways that you might not be accustomed.
4.
Christian counseling is a process that usually requires more than one session.
We ask that you be committed to the process of learning new ways of thinking
and behaving in order to develop change that will last beyond the Christian
counseling experience.
We hope you are ready to examine your own life and make appropriate changes through the counseling process, so that the Fruit of His Spirit (Galatians 5:22) will reign in your life. We are excited to be involved in this journey with you and we pray that your heart is ready for the God of Healing to touch your life, your marriage, and your family!
