Biblical counseling at Patterson Park Church exists to provide spiritual, emotional, and relationship supportive services to individuals, couples, families, and children who attend Patterson Park Church or who are approved
to receive counseling at Patterson Park Church.
We counsel in a way that seeks to bring about Holy Spirit-transformed
lives through the help and hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe the best context for this transformation is within the community of a local church, so if you attend another church we
encourage you to seek counseling there. However, if you attend another church or no church at all, we would consider it our joy to discuss with you how God can meet the needs of your heart.
