FREE CITY BIBLICAL COUNSELING

Providing Biblical hope and soul care to Free City Church

We believe God’s Word speaks to every aspect of life and is sufficient to address our deepest needs, fears, longings, and difficulties. Biblical Counseling focuses on helping discern the problems people face while revealing and implementing new, Biblical patterns of reflecting Christ. Our hope is centered on knowing Jesus Christ who reveals the depths of who we are, what our problems are, and the solutions to our problems.

Whether you struggle with sinful patterns, suffering, or direction - Biblical Counseling will seek to provide Biblical instruction and Christ-centered hope from the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word with the hope of a transformed life in Christ.

Why Biblical Counseling?

We believe in lasting soul care for the benefit of an individual’s relationship with God and others and the overall blessing to the local church and beyond. We seek to help people glorify God with their entire lives, including their thoughts, words and actions. We aim to help those individuals and couples struggling with: abuse, anger, anxiety, depression, doubt, faith, family, finances, marriage, parenting, purity/sex, and other challenges.
