We believe that the primary context of counseling is the local church community. Because of this, we come alongside churches as partners in ministry and seek to involve them as much as possible and provide care for their members. We’re also committed to equipping local churches through training and case consultations.
What are church partnerships?
Counseling
We provide a fully functioning biblical counseling ministry without any legal liability on your part. Our professional Biblical counselors will work alongside your pastors, staff members, and lay leaders to provide care for your members and referrals. Place a link to our website on your church site and refer members.
Training
If you need training we provide a Level 1 and Level 2 Certification that is great for pastors and lay counselors in already established care ministries or those wanting to start one
Consultation
We can provide case consultation for care situations that you feel you need help with. We also provide assistance in church discipline issues and situations requiring third-party moderators.
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - Ecclesiastes 4:12
Testimonies
“We are an established church but don’t have a care ministry yet. It was a blessing to find the Gospel Care Collective and to partner with them to provide professional biblical counseling to our people. We setup a page on our website and link directly to the GCC counselors.” – Lead Pastor in Denver, Colorado
“For years I struggled to find trusted Christian counselors. I love that we can partner with GCC and that they collaborate with us in our care for our people.” – Lead Pastor in Nashville, TN
“When I have a tough counseling case that I feel is over my head I have benefited greatly from setting up a consultation call with the GCC. They have provided gospel-centered, clinically-informed wisdom and practical insight that has made me a better pastor and counselor.” – Pastor in Austin, TX
What do we request?
Our passion is not to take from churches, but rather to serve them. With that said, we do ask for a few things should you choose to partner with us.
- A commitment to assist church members who need financial assistance to help cover counseling costs
- A commitment to refer members of your congregation to Gospel Care Counselors
- Financial support if possible
