Lifesong is pleased to offer Counseling from a Christian Perspective. If this is something you are looking for, please request when you schedule your appointment. Christian counseling is relevant in integrating the whole of who we are, physical and spiritual. Deeper issues of purpose, meaning are explored in Christian counsel as well as utilizing truths from scripture to increase one's confidence in dealing with life's difficult and trying issues. Incorporating spiritual practices into the healing process brings us face to face with our issues in the context of who we are and who created us. Scripture and spiritual practices are not seen as band aid or surface solutions, but actually give us the freedom to express our emotions and ask the tough questions.
Our therapists who offer this service share the same beliefs found in the American Association of Christian Counselors Statement of Faith. .
AACC BELIEVES THAT:
There exists only one God, creator and sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally co-existing in three personsâ Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Scriptures, both Old and New testaments, are the inspired, inerrant and trustworthy Word of God, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of human beings, and the final authority for all matters about which it speaks.
Human nature derives from two historical personas, male and female, created in God’s image. They were created perfect, but they sinned, plunging themselves and all human beings into sin, guilt, suffering, and death.
The substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and his bodily resurrection provide the only ground for justification, forgiveness, and salvation for all who believe. Only those who trust in Him alone are born of the Holy Spirit and are true members of the Church; only they will spend eternity with Christ.
The Holy Spirit is the agent of regeneration and renewal for believers in Jesus Christ. He makes the presence of Jesus Christ real in believers, and He comforts, guides, convicts, and enables believers to live in ways that honor Christ.
Ministry to persons acknowledges the complexity of humans as physical, social, psychological, and spiritual beings. The ultimate goal of Christian counseling is to help others move to personal wholeness, interpersonal competence, mental stability, and spiritual maturity.
