Preaching and Pastoral Psychotherapy

"But, of course preaching, for me, has, in a sense, been personal counseling. I mean to say my definition of preaching is personal counseling on a group scale." Harry E. Fosdick

Counseling in a Christ-centered Center

"My family is grateful for therapy received at First Christian Church. In a few sessions, we got insight to renew our family."

"Counseling in a faith-based setting was perfect for me."

"Let's put this into God's hands. That really showed me the therapist respected my faith."

"Getting in touch with my emotions helped me live a balanced life."

"Farming income has been down for me. We farmers are often too proud to seek help. Counseling at a faith-based place got me in touch with intimacy."
