The Sanctuary of Hope is more than a Counseling Center. Through the "hope services", we will provide the community with tools to help them navigate life's challenges through practical interventions.
As a Pillar, whose mission is to support and promote healthy lifestyles and behaviors, we hold to the foundation and integration of biblical principles to support the community.
By integrating psychological and theological framework, Pastoral Counseling incorporates spiritual exploration and wholeness, healing and growth to those seeking help.
Beyond providing psychotherapy, pastoral counselors utilize resources such as prayer, scripture study and participation in the congregation community to help guide people on their journey towards transcendence, transformation and a greater connection to others and Christ.
** This service has a limited number of sessions and then an assessment for alternative services**.
By offering Biblical studies, individuals delve deep into the Holy Scriptures and complete surveys on the old and new testaments. The "hope" in biblical studies is to understand the hermeneutics and exegesis of the bible and learn to defend the word of God as one grows in the knowledge of who he is and what he has done.
Our "Healing" Study groups provide "Hope" through six- eight week study groups on topics such as, "Forgiving what you can't forget", "Woman Evolve", "Emotonally, Healthy Spirituality" and more. These groups promote healthy insight and growth on an emotional and spiritual level.
Our Grief and GriefShare Groups offer "Hope" through providing a safe space to mourn the loss of a loved one by understanding that you are not alone. That God is with you, and he orchestrates people in your life to walk along side of you. Grief Groups varies from one day groups to 13-week programs.
We seek to provide "Hope" with offering parenting workshops to equip parents with evidence-based techniques to help their children and teens develop coping skills, improve self-esteem. Also, providing psychoeducation to parents such as effective communication, effective directives and setting clear expectations in the home promoting children to achieve greater success in school and other areas of life.
By partnering with other community organizations, we seek to instill "hope" through participation in mentoring programs as well as initiating mentorship programs within the community.
Instilling "hope" through psychoeducation around healthy and unhealthy stress, creation of self awareness/safety plans and identification of effective coping mechanisms.
Through diversity workshops, we seek to instill "hope" by bringing about awareness of the variety of cultures people encounter daily and how to be ethnically aware of how we communicate with each other while fostering healthy relationships and grow as a community.
