Our Method:

At Image Bearers Counseling our intent is to come alongside our clients, inviting and facilitating their engagement with God as a person, discovering what he might be saying or doing in regard to their experiences, and inviting his relational support (strength) in order to align their lives with his wisdom and direction.

Our History:

We began Image Bearers Ministries in 2007 with a vision of inviting others into our fellowship of freely and joyfully following Jesus. Each of our staff knows what it is like to struggle with problems that seem overwhelming. During those times we often viewed the solving of our problems as if the outcome depended completely on us. We came to discover that God did not see it that way. Instead, we learned that God wants to play an integral role in our lives, having placed himself at the core of our beings as our ultimate resource and deepest desire. With this new understanding we began learning how to cooperate with him, allowing God to lead us. We've discovered that drawing upon God's present availablity opens the pathway to freedom in our lives despite our problems and insufficiencies.

Qualifications:

God has called and equipped us to come alongside others who are experiencing life challenges beyond their personal capacities with gentleness, understanding, and (by God’s grace) wisdom, trusting the result to be personal growth, the resolution of inner conflicts, and/or improvement in personal relationships.

Each of our counselors are trained pastorally and some also possess state licensure. (See staff profiles for each person’s qualifications.)
