What is biblical counseling?

Biblical counseling is based exclusively on the Word of God as the authoritative guide for life. We believe that the Bible is the authoritative and inspired Word of God that guides our lives, our faith and even speaks into the challenges and problems of our lives.

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be fully prepared, thoroughly equipped for every good work.  2 Timothy 3:16-17
