Care courses
Biblical clarity for anxious, grieving, wounded, and weary disciples—without confusing the meetinghouse with a clinic.
If you are in crisis — if you are thinking of harming yourself or someone else, or you are not safe — call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or call 911. This page is not emergency care.
Drawn from the congregation’s teaching series What Christians Should Know About Mental Health, taught by Jason Cheney (elder; LPC — EMDR and PCIT certified). Counseling is wise help under Christ; it does not replace the gospel, repentance, or the assembly of the saints.
