Intensive Counseling Program

For individual and couples seeking deeper, immersive support in a focused environment.

Overview

This Counseling Intensive offers a focused week of biblical counseling for individuals, couples, and families seeking deep personal transformation through the ministry of the Word.

Grounded in the Anabaptist tradition and a high view of Scripture, the intensive helps participants understand their life story, examine the heart, and apply the Gospel to areas of suffering and sin—leading to a practical integration plan for long-term growth and healing.

Recognizing that God created us as embodied souls, the intensive includes rhythms of rest and bodily awareness to support lasting heart change.
