Statement of Faith & Core Values

Statement of Faith:

We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired Word. There is one and only one living and true God existing as three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God eternal and equal with the Father. Human beings were created in the image of God, but became sinners by nature and deed, and therefore hopelessly lost. Salvation, restoration to membership in God’s family, is by grace through faith alone for those who trust in the saving work of Christ at the Cross.

Core Values:

1. We wholeheartedly believe and commit to our Statement of Faith. All counseling theory and techniques utilized will be consistent with our Statement of Faith.
2. We are committed to demonstrating respect for all clients.
3. We are committed to providing professional counseling services in accordance with local, state, federal, and organizational laws, statutes, and ethical guidelines.
4. We are committed to addressing the holistic development of our clients—physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual. We are also quick to refer those issues that are primarily pastoral in nature to a church pastor or pastoral counselor and those that are primarily physical in nature to a physician.
5. We are committed to being a counseling resource for local churches.
6. We are committed to benefiting our local community.
7. We are committed to making every attempt to be affordable to clients in need.
8. We are committed to ensuring that all clients are afforded the right to a counselor with whom they have no other ongoing relationship, and who is competent to treat their issues.
9. We are committed to ongoing personal, professional, and organizational growth (physically, emotionally, cognitively, and spiritually).
