We believe that the Bible speaks to all of life and to all of its problems, but it takes careful thought and prayerful wisdom to know how to make those connections. Your counselor is a Christian with special training and experience in applying the truth of the Bible to life.

Your counseling will be biblical, pastoral counseling in which the Scriptures are held as the final authority in all matters.

Most importantly, we believe that the Bible ultimately points us to a Person - the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that real change comes when people learn to see themselves and their problems in the context of a loving, vital relationship with Christ. This does not mean that you must be a Christian to profit from our counseling, although we believe that deep and lasting change is brought about only by God Himself. Because of this, we do not use the Bible in a superficial or heavy-handed way.

When necessary we will work with your physician or other professionals to ensure you receive the appropriate medical care in conjunction with the counseling services you receive.

We do not charge for the counseling services offered through Outward Biblical Counseling; however, there is a one-time $15 fee requested to cover all resource materials and provide training to our biblical counselors.

If you'd like to make a donation to Outward Church above and beyond the $15 fee, you can find ways to give here.

Based on your intake form, you will be matched with one of our trained biblical counselors. Our counseling team consists of pastors, lay counselors, and trainees under the direction of the church elders who provide guidance and oversight. The staff of Outward Church Biblical Counseling Ministry will supervise the trainees and lay volunteers. A biblical counselor trainee may be present in any counseling session for training and observation.
