Philosophy

 

Our Foundations Believing that we live in the world, created and interpreted by God and now fallen, we counsel so as to bring people to love God and love neighbor through believing obedience.  Believing that the Bible is God’s revelation and that it is a sufficient guide for faith and life, we counsel based on and with the Scriptures. The Bible gives us God’s interpretation of our lives and how we can be pleasing to Him..  Believing that people’s fundamental problems are their broken relationships with God, we counsel so as to bring them into proper relationship with God and with others, helping them handle the issues of life so as to be pleasing to God. Our Framework Believing that the church is the central place of God’s work, we counsel as a ministry of a local church. Our counseling is under the direction of and is a ministry of Clearcreek Chapel. Believing that people need help, we counsel people from other churches or who are not churched who are willing to commit to certain expectations.  Our  Focus Believing that people live out how they think and what they want, we focus our counsel on both the outward and the inward, on the behavior and the heart. Believing that people’s situations of life expose how they think and what they want, we work to understand people’s situations through extensive and intensive examination of both the outward and inward aspects of a person’s life. Believing that true life change comes through repentance in the heart, we seek to bring about heart change through the Word and Spirit of God in counsel. Believing that patterns and themes of sin must be changed and reinforced through godly discipline, we work to implement practical steps of action that make putting off sin and putting on righteousness a reality.
