The Purpose of the Center

The goal of the St. Matthews Pastoral Counseling Center and the Crestwood office is to offer Christ-centered counseling, consultation, and education to those who seek it.

Life in our day is often filled with grief and pain, anguish and trouble, together with a great variety of scarred and broken covenants and relationships.  Yet sometimes, even the noise of the world around us is overwhelmed by the raging storm within.

In these times, haunting memories of the past, the agonies of the present, and the fear of an unknown future drown out the still, small voice of God.  The power and strength which still remain within us are paralyzed.

One of the primary biblical models guiding the work of the counseling staff is the New Testament image of compassion for all persons (Mark 6:34).  For those whose personal lives, relationships, or covenants would benefit from a conversation with a competent pastoral person, the counselors of the St. Matthews Pastoral Counseling Center are here to guide them on a journey of changes, growth, and transformation in the context of Christian faith.
