Biblical Counseling


Lay Counselor Ministry

Lay Care Ministry is Biblical guidance for individuals 18 and older who call CBC their home church. This ministry is not professional counseling but rather is short-term biblical guidance provided by trained volunteers who walk alongside you to find God’s answers to life’s difficulties. The role of the Lay Care Minister is to listen, pray with you and provide resources that could help you through whatever challenges life might bring.
