This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 1John 5:14

Our pastors offer counseling to anyone who makes an appointment. In our view and practice, a pastor is equipped to listen, to connect you with those parts of the Bible that would speak to your situation and condition, to apply the gospel, to pray with you and to recommend further counsel and therapy, if needed from licensed practitioners. Our pastors are willing to meet with you once to assess your needs and to refer you to a professional counselor or a physician for ongoing help, if needed.

Nearly everyone can benefit from meeting with a counselor. Most of us should have a complete physical examination annually so that we do not assume that any one of our problems is spiritual when it may be physical. While all fields and human faculties are interrelated there are significant differences between what a physician can do for your body, what a pastor can do for your soul, and what a licensed counselor/ Clinical Psychologist can do for your mind. Many of us need help from all three.

While our pastors are gifted and skilled in spiritual matters, able to apply the Holy Scriptures to all areas of life and human nature, they are not particularly trained or recognized officially to offer medical and psychological advice. You will find our pastors to be understanding and helpful. We do not charge a fee for counseling sessions. Evergreen provides pastoral counseling as a ministry of the church funded by the gifts of its members and friends. Make an appointment today by contacting the Evergreen office.
