Marriage Counseling

Lay Counseling

There are seasons in all of our lives where we could benefit from talking through the complexities of life with someone else. WoodsEdge desires to provide our church family with the opportunity to discuss those challenges with biblically based, trained Christian lay counselors. Lay Counselors do not take the place of a professional counselor; rather this is a place to seek resolution for issues before they become large and complex. Our volunteer marriage counselors are couples that are committed to caring, listening, praying and offering biblical counsel regarding the most common areas of struggle. These lay counselors have completed in-depth training and undergo continuing education and supervision. They operate under the same code of ethics as professional counselor to ensure a safe and confidential environment.

We offer up to 8 sessions of biblical marriage counseling for WoodsEdge couples at a very affordable fee.

SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

Cost is $20 for the first session, $10 for each subsequent session. These fees are not tax deductible and go to offset the cost of the lay counseling ministry.

Sessions

Freedom Prayer

We believe that in order to find the fullness of God’s freedom each of us needs to spend time in his presence seeking him to search our heart, surrender pains, fears and lies and receive his grace into the broken places. You can do this in your own time with God and you can benefit from doing this during a Freedom Prayer Session with our Freedom Ministry Team Members.
