But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1 Thessalonians 4:13
Do you need help?
Do you have a question?
We're here to talk you through your most difficult time.
Need Counselling?
We understand that there are times in life when you just need a helping hand. In fact, many people are doing very well in some parts of their life while struggling in others. Now might be the time when you need someone to come alongside and encourage you from the Bible.
People face all sorts of problems, but the most common would be those struggling in their marriage, helping parents with their children, those dealing with moral issues, addictions, and those struggling with their emotions (i.e. depression or anger). In all cases, we use the Bible, God's sufficient Word, to answer the problems of life.

There Is Hope
Real problems require real solutions.
In all cases, we use the Bible to answer the problems of life. We believe that God has given us all we need to know Him and to live in a way that is pleasing to Him. All our difficulties may not evaporate.
However, when a person willingly submits to Gods instructions and clings to His promises there is hope and help. There are answers for dealing with whatever you might be facing. In fact, many counsellees see significant progress in a few months.
