What hope is there for my problems and questions?
In today’s incredibly complex world, God’s practical counsel is desperately needed. There is tremendous hope in the fact that God has provided His Word, the Bible, to give answers for your life’s problems and questions. God says that he has provided everything necessary for a person to know Him and to live in a way that pleases Him. God promises to help and bless those who obey His instructions in the Bible. Therefore, the one who seeks after and follows God’s answers for life can have great hope, contentment, and direction to handle all the pressures of life.
Who can come for counseling?
CHCM [Canyon Hills Counsling Ministry] offers counseling for individuals and couples. One does not need to be a regular attender or member of Canyon Hills to receive counseling. However, in instances where a waiting list becomes necessary, members of Canyon Hills will be given preference.
What kind of counseling is offered?
Counseling is made available to help with any problems you may be facing – marriage, parenting, addictions, disorders, fears, anger, grief, depression, anxiety, etc. Our counseling approach is based upon the truths of the Bible. Since God has fully provided His answers to life and all of the life’s problems in the Bible, it is superior to any other source of counsel. It is our goal, therefore, to skillfully and practically bring God’s answer to bear upon the difficulties you are facing.
