ENDURING LEADERSHIP

“For you have need of endurance,

so that when you have done the will of God,

you will receive what was promised.”

- Hebrews 10:36

Leadership

Church leadership is hard!

We empathize with the struggle of ministry leadership and desire to serve you in those most difficult times.

God has called you to your ministry. Our desire is to support your ability to endure where you have been called to serve!

Our mission: to lovingly reflect the truth of who we are in Christ, through professional Christian counseling and discipleship for the sake of emotional healing and relational transformation.
