Living Hope Ministries Counseling
Our mission is to come alongside people to help, support, provide counseling, encourage, and see them mature into the person God created them to be. We desire for people to not only know the love of God but to experience that love in such a way that they are transformed into the very nature and character of God. Living Hope Ministries is a safe place where people can come and share their very deepest heart issues and know they are loved and accepted. We want Ephesians 1:22-23 to become a reality within the church community. The Body of Christ operates in its fullness, bringing about the unity and harmony needed to bring healing to the heart, soul, and body.
Living Hope Ministries believes God’s Word has been given to us to meet everything we need to live a life pleasing to Him and to live life to the fullest. (II Peter 1:3-4 and Colossians 2:9-10). We believe the Bible has answers for all of life’s problems and identifies causes and provides authoritative solutions. II Timothy 3:16-17 states, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the men of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” Paul states this again in Colossians 1:28 “We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.”
Living Hope Ministries wants to see people mature and fulfill the will of God. Maturity has been defined as, “reaching one’s God-given potential and maximizing one’s skills and talents using them effectively while growing into the full capability of our individual designs.” Ephesians 2:10 reads, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”
