Fountain City church
Counseling services
Our value statement is Whole People taking the Whole Gospel to the Whole World.
The good news of Jesus Christ has the power to transform us. Jesus doesn’t incorporate us into his mission unchanged and unaffected; He changes our very lives so that the first witness to His power is him making us into new creations. And new creations come by more than just the saving, justifying work of faith in Jesus — they come by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in partnership with God’s people. This is a process. Change is a process. We believe that Christian counseling is one of the many ways that God heals and transforms us through process in community. The Holy Spirit partners with us to rewire our understanding according to the Scriptures, and Christian counseling allows us to enter an intentional process of guided learning and deliverance in the power of the Holy Spirit. The greatest witness to God’s power is a once-broken people who is now whole because of Jesus. Are you whole? This is the promise of Jesus, who makes all things new and heals the whole person.
To start your intentional process to becoming whole in Christ, contact Ashley today.
