Faith Fellowship

  
   

Biblical Counseling Center

  
    Faith Fellowship Biblical Counseling Center (FFBCC) is not a professional counseling agency: WE ARE A COUNSELING CHURCH, where the Word of God is the standard by which all counsel is given.  FFBCC offers counsel in such areas as:  
   
  • Interventional and crisis marriage counseling
  • Overcoming addiction
  • Grief resolution
  • Personal matters for career and life direction
  • Dealing with worry, anxiety and depression

As a service to the community, FFBCC offers free Biblical counsel to those searching for help, by calling 759-0591 to make an appointment.

  
       
    NANC Certified Biblical Counselors at FFBCC  
  • Rev. Robert Froese, Senior Pastor

    What is Biblical Counseling?  
    The best word in Scripture comes from the Greek word nouthesia.  In Colossians, the Apostle Paul helps us envision what a counseling church looks like, "...we preach, admonishing every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus."  (Col. 1:28-29).  In Nouthetic Counseling, God's word is used as the standard and guideline; not secular textbooks, Christian self-help manuals, psychotherapy, "words from the Lord", or personal opinions of the counselor.  The goal of FFBCC is that each person who comes for help would be "filled with all joy and peace in believing the God of hope, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit they may abound in hope."  FFBCC will help the counselee cultivate self-discipline, spiritual maturity and personal responsibility, without usurping the Biblically defined authorities in a person's relationships.  FFBCC counselors are all either certified members of the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors, or are in the process of being trained in Nouthetic Counseling.  
       
    What Biblical Counseling is not:  
       
    Biblical counseling is not involved in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or counseling that is defined as mental health services.  A written release is secured from each counselee acknowledging that they are seeking, and that FFBCC is providing Biblical counseling and Biblical counseling, only.  
       
    Steps to being helped at FFBCC:  
    1.  Acknowledge the need.  
    2.  Make a commitment to connect, prioritizing attendance at church services and   Bible studies.  
    3.  Call 716-759-0591 to make an appointment with one of the FFC pastors, or other trained Biblical counselors.  
    4.  Complete and sign all forms involved in the application process prior to your first appointment.  
    5.  Faithfully keep appointments and do the homework assigned.  
    6.  Follow through on guidance given by pastors/ counselors
