About Perimeter Counseling
Our approach
Our desire is to work alongside our Shepherding and Discipleship ministries, as each cares for members of our congregation in specific and necessary ways.
Our counsel is rooted in the Scriptures and is sensitive to your story. We aim to be redemptive in purpose, holistic in care, and practical in application.
Redemptive
We want to listen to you. Our focus is getting to know your unique story—the particular pain, suffering, unmet desires, and brokenness you’ve experienced.
Since God is a God of redemption, your unique story is never wasted. We long to help you connect your unique story to God’s greater story, helping you find freedom and purpose.
Holistic
Our ultimate goal is lasting, God-glorifying heart transformation.
It is easier said than done. We are embodied souls, marred by suffering and sin. Our bodies have an effect on our hearts.
Anchored in the Scriptures and aided by research, our counseling considers the effects of the body upon the soul, and creates a plan for healing based on individual’s story and situation.
Practical
The gospel is not an abstract belief that just gets you into heaven. The Holy Spirit works in our lives in particular micro-moments throughout our days.
We focus on specific gospel application to everyday issues of life with simple strategies for help.
