All of us have problems when dealing with the normal stresses and strains of daily living. Consequently, there are times when we could benefit from talking with a trained counselor about our concerns.
We are pleased to provide such help when it is desired by those who attend Journey as well as others in the community (e.g., families with children who attend Ready, Set, Go! Preschool, Pioneer Girls, Boy Scouts, Stockade, and Tree Climbers.)
Additionally, counseling is available to anyone with a need regardless of whether or not they attend Journey Christian Church.
