Biblical counselling is a Christ-centered ministry that offers compassionate care for people facing the complexities of life. Rooted in Scripture, it views counselling as an extension of the local church's mission to love and support others towards growth in all aspects of life. This approach addresses the physical, relationships and soul of a person’s well-being, seeking to navigate one's struggles with God’s presence, and promises. It aims to bring renewal, healing through the lens of biblical wisdom.
