Resources
So often we compartmentalize our lives, but God wants to be Lord over all of us - our hearts and minds, our spirits, and our physical bodies. Below are some resources to connect with as we pursue wholeness and holiness, becoming more mature physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually.
Counseling
Meeting with a professional counselor may be for you if you are processing trauma, a big life change or grief. If you are looking for counseling, we recommend the following practices and therapists.
Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is a process that involves responding to God’s invitation to draw closer in relationship. In our busy lives, it can be difficult to notice God’s Presence in our daily affairs. Spiritual direction is meant to help an individual to notice, reflect, discern and discover where God is present and active in the everyday life and to make choices based on that awareness.

A Journey Through Grief
Loss is universal and unavoidable, therefore, to be human means that we will experience grief. And yet, grief is also deeply personal. There is a uniqueness to every response towards loss. We have created a resource for your to use to lament, remember and share during your grief.
Inner Healing Resource
Healing takes time and moving toward inner wholeness takes work. Our team has put together a Five-Week Course to help you better understand the healing process and the spiritual work that goes into inner wholeness.
